General requirements:

• Must be friendly and punctual

Whether your interest is Front of House or special events, whether you are available for one night or throughout the whole season, we are always looking for positive and reliable people to join our team. Below is a listing of all the volunteer positions we have at ATP.

Front of House

While you are in the house, you could be doing a number of different duties including lead volunteer usher, coat check, ushering, lottery booth, feedback forms, special event help and more. It is your focus to ensure that the patrons enjoy their evening in the theatre; take tickets, show people to their seats, provide coverage in case of evacuation and maintain the theatre itself.

Shifts

Volunteer ushers are required as we have a performance on the stage. We have performances Tuesday-Saturday evenings, and Saturday and Sunday matinees. For some shows we also have student matinees. The shift start times are as follows:

Evening: 6:30pm
Weekend matinee: 1:00pm
Student matinee: 10:30am
