    Description

    Volunteer Usher

    The Paramount Theatre, Oakland has ongoing volunteer opportunities to usher for live events (from lectures, concerts, ballet, orchestral concerts and comedy).

    There are also opportunities to support the public docent tours of this art deco palace that is on the National Historic Register. Come join us!

    Oakland's Paramount Theatre is one of the finest remaining examples of Art Deco design in the United States. Designed by renowned San Francisco architect Timothy L. Pflueger and completed in late 1931, it was one of the first Depression-era buildings to incorporate and integrate the work of numerous creative artists into its architecture and is particularly noteworthy for its successful orchestration of the various artistic disciplines into an original and harmonious whole.
