The Thalian Hall Usher Corps

The primary volunteer opportunity provided by the Thalian Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. is for the Thalian Hall Usher Corps. In many ways the Ushers are the public face of Thalian Hall. The Usher Corps assists the public and house management by collecting tickets, serving concessions, assisting in seating location and handicap access, providing information and acting as assistants in hospitality for our touring artists.

The Usher Corps also assists staff in poster distribution and targeted mailings.

Usher training is generally held on the first Monday of each month. This 30 minute orientation provides the basic introduction to volunteering at Thalian Hall. For performances new ushers are partnered with experienced volunteers to allow them to become more familiar with procedures and policies. Volunteers are allowed to register to work on any event that their schedules allow and there is an incentive program to assure a consistent number of ushers for every event. There is no minimum number of events required to remain a member of the Usher Corps.

The only skill necessary is the willingness to assist in the overall positive experience by theatre patrons when they attend events in Thalian Hall. Volunteers are asked to wear black slacks or skirt and white blouse for ladies, and black trousers, white dress shirt and solid color tie for gentlemen. This is very helpful to patrons in recognizing who can provide them with assistance.

If you would like to learn more about becoming an usher at Thalian Hall, please use the Usher Contact Form or call 632-2284.
