Ushers for this performance will need to be 16 years old! No exceptions! Ushers will be responsible for scanning tickets, seating patrons, stage guarding, and handing out programs. There may be times when ushers will help with folding programs for the next show. Ushers will need to arrive on time for the shift they have sign up for and wearing all black attire, and closed toed shoes. (No crocs). T-shirts are ok but with limited logos. No profanity. Our theatre is little chilly, even in the winter time, so we advise wearing a black sweater or sweatshirt.
We also provide SSL forms ( Student Service Learning hours). Our forms are prefilled out. Volunteers will only need to fill out the student portion.
