Volunteer Ushers

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is not currently recruiting volunteers to serve as ushers for its locally produced Theatre Company, Cabaret and Off-Center productions, but we will be in the future. Keep an eye on this webpage for information on future volunteer opportunities as they arise!

Ushers join us before the performance begins and stay throughout the intermission to scan tickets, distribute programs, assist guests to their seats and answer questions. We encourage friends, family and colleagues to volunteer together.

“Because I volunteer as a Tour Ambassador, I see the skill and pride the DCPA craftspeople bring to our productions. As a long-time subscriber, I know the quality of the onstage productions, so to keep our theatre at the top, I am happy to add a little to my ticket prices as a donor.”
