VOLUNTEER

Performance Usher

The Western Stage has opportunities for volunteers in all departments, but the largest group are involved with our Hosptitality Teams, which provide service as ushers during our performances.  These vital volunteers make sure our audience members have a wonderful experience from the moment they arrive at Hartnell's Center for Performing Arts until they return home. 

For the safety of everyone involved, ALL USHERS MUST BE 14 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.
