If you have an interest in the performing arts and would enjoy working with a great and fun-loving group of people, consider joining our Texas Performing Arts team as a Volunteer Student Usher!

VOLUNTEER STUDENT USHERS

A primary goal at Texas Performing Arts is to ensure that our guests have an enjoyable and memorable experience at our events. Whether taking tickets, handing out programs, greeting incoming patrons or assisting guests in finding their seats, our volunteers are the public face of Texas Performing Arts.

Any current student may be a volunteer student usher. To remain an active usher, students must:
• Participate in the training session given at the beginning of each long semester
• Volunteer for a minimum of three (3) events per semester
• Show up on time and with a smile

Contact us at frontofhouse@texasperformingarts.org to let us know if you are interested in joining us as a student usher.

If you are not a current UT student, please see our main VOLUNTEER page for more information and an application to join our regular usher program.

VOLUNTEER BENEFITS

• Hands-on experience working at a world-class arts organization
• Chance to see performances when working a shift
• Opportunity to meet other undergraduate and graduate students as well as Austin residents with an interest in the arts.

BECOME A VOLUNTEER!

We will be holding one New Student Usher Training Session for the Spring 2012 semester – mark your calendars for Monday, January 23rd from 5-6:30pm! We will meet in the lobby of Bass Concert Hall (‘PAC’ on campus maps) and talk through the basics of our program while touring the entire Bass Concert Hall facility. You must complete this training before beginning to usher at any of our venues. No need to RSVP, just show up and bring your friends! The next training after this one will happen sometime during the first two weeks of the fall 2012 semester.

Thanks for your interest in our program!

Please contact us at frontofhouse@texasperformingarts.org or by phone at 512.471.0611 if you have any additional questions about our student usher program.
