Lesher Center for the Arts Volunteer Usher Program
The Lesher Center for the Arts continues to require proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 for all guests age 12 and over, and face coverings are to be worn by all guests age two and over when visiting indoor spaces at the Lesher Center for the Arts and Bedford Gallery.
The Lesher Center values its wonderful volunteer usher staff. We are in the process of reactivating our program as we emerge from our lengthy COVID closure. Our volunteer program will evolve in phases as our performances and events return to our stages. We currently have two roles for volunteers; Volunteer Usher and Vaccination Support*.
Why join the LCA Volunteer Program?
• Support the Arts! The Center and its producers depend on our volunteer team.
• Serve Your Community! All of our patrons, both season ticket holders and newcomers rely on your service.
• Become an LCA Team Player! Make new friends while enjoying the shows.
• Experience the shows! There is nothing like live entertainment! Volunteers are needed throughout the duration of shows and are able to see them in exchange for their service!
Usher Eligibility
• Usher positions are open to anyone over the age of 16, or over the age of 14 if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• All volunteer ushers must view and comprehend an on-line orientation/training session prior to ushering.
• Volunteers who are fully-vaccinated will use FastScreen to certify their vaccination status.
• Any volunteer who has not certified their vaccination status through FastScreen will be required to submit proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of scheduled shift.
• Ushers are required to remain on their feet for extended periods of time and/or to climb ramps and stairs. Seats are not guaranteed. Volunteers who may require accommodations are welcome to apply.
• Ushers must have sufficient vision to read theater tickets without difficulty, and be able to maneuver, in a darkened atmosphere.
• Remember, applying to become an usher is like applying for a job. We may only have a few openings each training session.
Continued Eligibility**
• Cooperative & courteous attitude toward patrons, fellow volunteers, & staff.
• Ability to follow instructions & perform all required tasks.
• Performance ratings by house manager & other staff.

Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for as many additional events as they wish.
