Become an Usher
Our volunteer ushers make up the largest part of the theater’s staff and, after the actors, are the staff members most visible to the public. As an usher, you are often the first face a patron sees when attending a play at Arena Stage. Ushers are responsible for the comfort, safety and overall experience of up to 1,200 people each time they are here. Ushers are assigned to all productions in the Kreeger Theater and in the Fichandler Stage. Ushers are also assigned to productions in the Kogod Cradle when there is space available. As an usher, you contribute personally to Arena Stage’s professional reputation by making every patron feel welcome and by doing all you can to make their time with us pleasant and memorable.
