See a Show for FREE!

We’re always seeking volunteer ushers for each of our performances. We ask that you arrive approximately one hour prior to curtain time. After a quick briefing from our House Manager, you will assist with seating patrons, concessions and general crowd control during walk-in and intermission. In return, you will be able to see the performance for free. We’ll release you several minutes before the show starts so you can pick a good seat, relax and enjoy the on-stage pinball wizardry that will unfold before you. Interested? Reserve your ‘volunteer usher’ slot today!

Other Areas to Volunteer

Set Construction: Work with the Technical Director, building/rigging sets and loading them onto the stage. Knowledge of power tools, set construction or carpentry is helpful but not necessary.

Set Painting and Props: The Set Designer uses volunteers to paint scenery and set pieces and to gather and build props. Painting tasks range from base coating to detail work. Props gathering involves finding items in storage as well as shopping.

Light and Sound: Work with the Light/Sound Designer hanging lights, cutting gels and programming the light and sound boards.

Costumes: Work with the Costume Designer building new and altering existing costumes. You do not need to know how to sew. Help may be needed in the form of distressing or dyeing fabric, fitting or finishing, or decorating hats and shoes.

Props Runners: Duties include setting and striking props during a show, helping with on-stage scenery pieces and assisting actors with offstage procurement and use of props.

Dressers: Duties include helping actors with costume quick-changes, on-the-spot repairs and laundry prep.

Hair and Make-up: Assist actors with make-up application and hair/wig styling.

Lights and Sound: Run the light board, sound board or follow spots.

Set Crew: Prepare the stage prior to the show. Move scenery between scenes and acts.

Stage Manager/Asst. S.M.: Oversee rehearsals, call the show, be the person who is responsible and in charge. The Stage Management position is a major time commitment for one person, with previous experience as an ASM required. ASM's come in during tech week and work every performance, unless duty sharing.

Audience Services Manager: Coordinates the efforts of the Box Office and Ushers to meet and greet our patrons, works with the SM to start shows on time and is responsible for the safety of our patrons.

Ushers: Tear tickets, hand out programs and assist with seating our patrons. May also assist with concessions, if applicable.

Box Office: Manages ticket sales for all ROLT events.
