Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Each of our 96 summer performances requires the help of 15 volunteer ushers to make sure all goes smoothly. Volunteer ushers distribute programs; help with seating; assist with Will Call ticketing and general site upkeep. When seats are available, ushers are invited to enjoy the performance. You may also bring friends and make it a group event!

While the Bruns Memorial Amphitheater is a beautiful and serene space, our volunteers must be able to stand for long periods of time, as well as walk on uneven pavement and handle cash.
