How Do I Use This Website?
Hello,
The purpose of this message is to explain in as much detail as possible how to use this site. First of all volunteerusher.com is a website that helps you to see theatre for free by signing up to be a volunteer usher. Ushers pass out programs, help patrons find their seats, take tickets, etc… and then assume seats right before the show begins. Details vary from show to show and theatre to theatre but usually ushers arrive an hour before show time and stay a few minutes afterward.

More About Ushering
Volunteer ushers show up one hour before show time and help the house staff get the show up. This usually entails passing out programs, taking tickets, helping patrons find theirs seats and in the event of an emergency helping to evacuate the theatre. All the training you need is provided the night of the show.
We ask that you dress appropriately. (This doesn’t mean formal wear but avoid jeans and t-shirts)
We also ask that ushers be older than fifteen unless accompanied by an adult in which case thirteen is ok and that ushers be able to speak English well and can negotiate stairs. Please take a moment to look over our Frequently Asked Questions and if you have still have questions feel free to e-mail us.
