As a volunteer usher, you assure our patrons have an exceptional experience. Sometimes that means greeting patrons warmly, tearing their tickets, and handing out programs. Other times, you will answer questions about the Cinema and the films, address patron feedback, or ensure patron comfort and safety during screenings.
You are required to volunteer at least five shifts per semester—and you can volunteer much more if you want. Feel free to volunteer with friends and family.
I love hearing the comments of audience members as they leave because it’s always so positive and happy. That’s been the magic of the Cinema for me.
