Work-Study Opportunities
Volunteer to Earn Free Adult Classes: Usher at Theatre Lab
Ushers make performances possible! As an usher, you are allowed *free* entry into the show. Ushers also receive a $30 class credit for any individual show worked, and a $150 class credit for any full run of a show worked (e.g. if you ushered all four performances of Shakespeare in Love, the $150 class credit would apply). Ushers should be prepared to arrive at the venue up to an hour before showtime. To apply, send a brief email to Bryanda Minix at bryanda@theatrelab.org with your name and ushering experience (if any), and we’ll let you know about upcoming opportunities.
