Volunteer Usher Program

 The Lesher Center for the Arts values it's wonderful volunteer usher staff.  If you are interested in joining this incredible team of ushers please attend an upcoming Prospective Usher Orientation Session.

Prospective Usher Orientation Sessions are generally scheduled twice per year.

The next orientation is scheduled for:
  • DATE/TIME:  Monday, September 9 at 11am and 7pm
  • LOCATION:  George & Sonja Vukasin Theatre (On the first floor of the Lesher Center for the Arts)
Usher candidates must attend an orientation session prior to becoming eligible for the program.  No pre-registration required.

Information about Volunteering at the Lesher Center for the Arts:
  • All volunteer ushers must attend an orientation/training session prior to ushering.  These sessions are scheduled twice per year.  Ushers are asked to commit to ushering for at least one performance per month; although there may be opportunities to usher more often. (We currently have over 250 volunteer ushers).
  • Volunteer usher correspondence is conducted via email and  Volgistics - Volunteer Software Solutions.  As of August 31, 2016 volunteer ushers will not be able to log-in with Windows XP due to Volgistics ending support for Windows XP.  Volgistics support has ended because of potential security vulnerabilities with the OS caused by Microsoft discontinuing support for Windows XP.
