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

  • Commit to two shifts per show throughout the season

  • 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

  • Manage your schedule using email and the volunteer usher website

Please note: All communication is done via email. Access to a computer and a direct phone number are required for scheduling updates or cancellations.

Requirements

  • Must be 18 years of age or older

  • Ability to stand for at least one hour, navigate stairs, and lift a box of programs

  • Ability to read and/or scan tickets

  • Exceptional customer service skills with a proactive, patron-centered approach

  • A positive, friendly, and professional attitude—and a love of the performing arts!
