FAQ

What do you do as a volunteer?

Typically we have our volunteers help our staff check tickets and usher patrons to seats at some of our venues. Usually you will get to see some of the show you are working on.

Surely volunteers do more than this?

Yes, there are lots of little jobs while not ushering. You might help get some signage ready or provide information/directions to patrons. Maybe set out chairs, or carry out some surveys.

Do we get training?

Yes, we hold orientation sessions in the lead up. You get a uniform to keep as well!

Do I get to hang backstage with the comedians and try and make a new best friend?

Ummm…. no. You might need to help them out, but generally backstage is for the comedians only. This sounds great, how do I apply?
