Volunteer Opportunities

Are you looking for something meaningful to do in your community? Do you love theatre and want to be part of the magic? The Aurora Fox invites you to join our Volunteer Usher Team!

Creating memorable experiences for our patrons is about more than what happens on stage, every interaction matters. As a volunteer usher, you’ll play a key role in welcoming guests and helping performances run smoothly.

What Ushers Do
Ushers arrive before the performance to:

• Prepare the theatre and distribute programs

• Assist guests to their seats

• Answer patron questions and provide support

We encourage friends, family members, and colleagues to volunteer together!

Benefits of Ushering

• A sneak peek behind the curtain, including an invitation to the final dress rehearsal

• Enjoy performances during your scheduled shifts

• Receive one complimentary ticket for every shift you volunteer

• Complimentary tickets can be redeemed using the ticket request form sent via email

• Invitations to special volunteer events and insider news from The Aurora Fox

Volunteer Usher Responsibilities

• Arrive 45 minutes before each performance

• New ushers should arrive 60 minutes early for training

• Proactively interact with patrons

• Assist Front of House staff, including during emergencies
