PLEASE NOTE: You will be assigned ushering duties upon arrival based on where help is needed most.
Things to know prior to arrival:
Dress code: All ushers are expected to dress in black attire with NO dominant logo or branded imagery. We ask that you do not wear jeans, t-shirts or sports clothing, including hoodies or tanks. Black jeans will be permitted provided there are no tears. You are a representative of StoryBook Theatre when volunteering and we ask that you come ready to play the part. A StoryBook Volunteer vest will be provided to complete your attire. You may wish to wear long sleeves as the theatre can be chilly in the winter months.
Arrive on time: Last minute changes to your commitment to volunteer or not showing up causes significant disruption for StoryBook patrons, fellow volunteers, and staff. Showing up late for your volunteer shift could result in your removal from the list for that evening’s performance. Please note that frequent cancellations or no shows may result in your name being removed from our future volunteer list without notice, so please only sign up for shows you know you will be able to attend.
Usher shifts are typically 3.5 to 4 hours.
We thank you for your time and dedication. We look forward to seeing you at the show! Should you have any questions please send an email to volunteer@storybooktheatre.org.
