General Information

Our volunteer ushers are responsible for helping prepare and distribute programs, answer basic, production-specific information, and may be asked to assist the House Manager with various other basic duties.

We ask ushers to contribute a minimum of two shifts per production.

We ask ushers to arrive one hour prior curtain (7:00 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and 1:00 p.m. on Sundays).

We ask ushers to be prepared to stand for extended periods of time, as well as jump into action when things get lively!

We ask ushers to dress in a clean, tasteful manner. Please, no blue jeans, t-shirts, or advertisements.

Complimentary Tickets

Ushers receive complimentary admittance upon or after completion of their second shift, based upon seat availability.

Scheduling

Usher scheduling is done on a per production basis. A list of available performance dates will be distributed electronically via the Front of House News approximately four to six weeks prior to the first preview performance of each production. Scheduling is done on a first come first served basis. All schedule requests should be sent to the House Manager via email only.

This newsletter serves to inform volunteers of new developments and announce opportunities specific to ushering as well as other opportunities within Curious Theatre Company. Please make sure to adjust your spam filter settings accordingly so that you are sure to receive these communications.
