No experience is necessary to be an Usher or Concessions Volunteer. Just arrive on time as scheduled prior to the show, stand at the door to take tickets, hand out playbills and assist patrons in locating their seats. PCT needs four volunteer ushers for each performance. This is an easy commitment that allows you to get to know PCT and decide what other activities, if any, you may wish to become involved in.
The PCT Box Office must be staffed by our Box Office volunteers during the evening hours two weeks prior and during the run of a performance. Box opens one hour prior to curtain time on performance dates. Some training is required as is basic computer skills, but we are happy to work with anyone interested.
