Why I Came to High Tide — and Why I’m Not Leaving

Jose DelaTorre joined High Tide Theatrical in 2025 as the House Manager for HAIR, expecting it to be a temporary role. Instead, it quickly became something more. Inside the Lightroom Lounge, Jose discovered a community built on bold storytelling, genuine connection, and art that invites people to feel deeply and think differently. Every performance, every audience member, and every moment shared in that space contributes to something rare—art that doesn’t just entertain, but brings people together. As House Manager, Jose helps ensure that every guest experiences that same sense of care, safety, and magic, night after night—because at High Tide, every story, and every person who walks through the door, matters.
