Usher Program
Do you enjoy working with children and the public? Would you like to contribute to an extraordinary cultural environment? Would you like to earn FREE tickets to our productions? If you answered yes, then our Volunteer Usher Program might be perfect for you!
Benefits of ushering:
- One complimentary ticket for every three ushering shifts!
- Support one of the top youth theatres in the country
- Enjoy the performance when not assisting patrons
- Watch children and families experience the magic of live theatre!
Responsibilities of ushers:
- Black and white attire, preferably a white collared shirt and black pants or skirt
- Seat audience, distribute Playbills and Play Guides
- Assist audience members with special needs
- Assist audience to cry and restrooms during performance
- Understand evacuation procedures
- Ensure theatre is in order after performance
- Help make Kelrik performances a wonderful experience!
Volunteer ushers are a vital part of the Kelrik family. Ushering is also a great community service opportunity for groups. Volunteers learn the ins and outs of running a theatre while honing their interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills.
Ushers are needed for all Performances. Volunteer usher shifts begin 75 minutes prior to each show. (i.e., arrive @ 12:45 pm for a 2:00pm show.) Ushers must be at least 12 years old and are invited to watch our 1 hour performances in any available seat but arent required to stay.
