The Usher Corps
Volunteers give the valuable gift of their time and we welcome and appreciate all who contribute in this important way. From ushers to mailing crews, committee members to office assistants, volunteers are an integral part of the daily operation of Miller Auditorium. Volunteering not only enhances Miller activities, but also creates rewarding opportunities for social contact in an exciting atmosphere.

What is the Usher Corps?Founded in 1967 with only a handful of people, the Usher Corps has grown to be 250 members strong and consists of a dedicated team of students and community members. |
What Ushers DoUshers arrive approximately 60 minutes before the posted curtain time for a particular show. They are informed of the specifics for that performance, any schedule changes and emergency policies. Ushers provide many valuable services for our guests including, but not limited to, handing out programs, assist patrons with finding seats, helping with concessions, after performance clean up, etc. |
BenefitsIn addition to meeting new friends and catching up with long time friends, ushers often get to enjoy the show they are volunteering for. |
