We are looking for student volunteer ushers this season, and I'd be grateful if you'd pass this along to any students who might be interested. It's a good fit for students working toward service hours or anyone curious about what college theatre, dance, and music performances look like.
A few details:
Open to high school students
Shifts run about 2-4 hours, typically on evenings and weekends, October through December. I will have additional signup opportunities in the spring.
Volunteers see the performance for free after seating is complete.
I'm happy to verify and sign school service-hour forms.
Ushers arrive 45 minutes before curtain for a short orientation with our house management team. The signup form lists the exact arrival for each performance.
Parking details are in the signup form.
Dress code: black bottoms, white or black top. No jeans. Comfortable, closed toe-shoes.
There is a volunteer form in the signup link that any minor must complete before arriving.
