Opportunity to help the HCC Theatre Department as a
Volunteer Usher
A volunteer usher arrives one hour before showtime and helps the House Manager with tasks such as: welcoming patrons, scanning tickets, helping patrons find seats, and making sure guests have a wonderful time at the theatre.
In exchange, you are then able to watch the show for free.
At intermission, you will assist the House Manager once again, and once the show concludes, you may be asked to help look through the theatre for any lost belongings or trash.
What do volunteers wear?
Here is our dress code, which is gender neutral.
DRESS CODE: (ALL BLACK)
Ushers should look professional (business casual). Below are the minimum guidelines for attire:
Collared shirt (tie not required), blouse and/or nice sweater
