Jobs in the theatre

Ok, so, aside from the performers and techies, there's so much more that goes into making a production happen. Ushers, box office, ticket takers, concessions etc. How does one go about getting a job like that? I'm a rising college freshman from NC but my grandparents live very close to NYC. From their house, I could walk to the train station and take the midtown direct into Penn Station. I'm thinking about trying to live with them one summer and work in New York. I think it'd be an awesome experience and so much fun. I was just thinking about finding any job I could, in a Starbucks or something. I love Broadway and the theatre, so I was thining that it'd be really awesome to actually work in a theatre. But, I really have no clue if that's the kind of thing that they'd hire students to do as a summer job, or if it's something that requires more experience and more of a long-term committment. Does anyone know about those sorts of jobs in a theatre?
