USHER

We use volunteer ushers at every performance! Our ushers represent Cottage Theatre. Their enthusiasm and helpfulness set the tone for the performance. Ushers greet arriving patrons, hand out programs, escort patrons to their seats, assist with concessions sales, and help maintain the lobby and bathrooms. In return, ushers get to see the show for free. Training is provided.

Sound good to you? If you are interested in ushering at one of our upcoming performances, contact our office staff.

Here are our usher guidelines:

• Arrive with a smile promptly by 6:30 pm for evening performances and 1:30 pm for matinees.
• Dress in nice clothes. No blue jeans, please.
• Please refrain from wearing fragrances.
• Check in with the Box Office staff upon arriving.
• Obtain and wear an Usher bib.
• Attend brief pre-performance orientation and training.
• Check tickets, hand out programs, and escort patrons to their seats. (Please note that ushering requires going up and down stairs.)
• Sell concessions at intermission.
• Help clean up auditorium, bathrooms & lobby following performance.
• Please give at least 24 hours notice if you are unable to work on your scheduled day.
