Volunteer
Your involvement in SCT is invaluable – why not take your experience one step further? Your contribution as a Volunteer Usher is a great way to see SCT's productions and artists from a whole new level. Greet patrons as they enter the theatre and see the show for free! We encourage adults and families to volunteer – SCT's Volunteer Program is a great way to inspire burgeoning young theatre-lovers to get involved.
Fill out the form below and join our mission of providing children of all ages and backgrounds access to professional theatre, with a focus on new works, and theatre education. For many children, we are the first, and sometimes, sole, exposure they have to live theatre – and you can make all the difference!

We are deeply appreciative of your time and positive energy! The amount of commitment required depends on the capacity in which you and your family volunteer. We encourage our Volunteer Ushers to usher at least once per show during the season. If you are interested in other volunteer opportunities, such as working with our Drama School Program, send us a note at volunteering@sct.org for more info.
Each new Volunteer will be trained on all tasks before their volunteer work begins. Volunteer Usher training takes place briefly before the lobby opens at each show.
USHERS FOR PUBLIC PERFORMANCES
Volunteers 8-13 years of age who are accompanied by a parent or guardian OR a minimum of 14 years of age on their own may usher public performances. Duties may include distributing programs, light pick-up in the theatre, ticket-scanning, stage watching, occasional assisting at concession stands, and other support as determined by the House Manager. Each shift is approximately 2.5-3 hours, and Volunteer Ushers should arrive one hour and 30 minutes before the performance.
If you are at least 8 years old, and accompanied by an adult, we’d love to have you volunteer with us! Volunteer roles vary per position, and we recommend visiting the sections above to see what works for you. If you’re interested in a role, fill out the form below to get started!
