Volunteer Usher

Ushering:

Ushers ensure that patrons are able to get to their seats quickly and safely. Ushers must be capable of climbing stairs, standing for a shift, and communicating with patrons. They are expected to stay for the entire concert and assist with general cleanup in the seating areas after patrons have departed (i.e. picking up playbills, loose papers, lost personal items should go to house manager, etc.).

Ticket Tearing:

Ticket tearers help patrons into the venue and point them towards the right seating area. They also monitor doors for exits/re-rentry during concerts. Ticket Tearers must be able to read tickets and be able to communicate with patrons. They are expected to stay at their position through intermission to assist latecomers & patrons re-entering the hall.

Office Volunteers:

NHSO periodically needs volunteers to stuff envelopes, assist with instrument petting zoos, make phone calls, and perform other administrative duties.
