Description of Volunteer Opportunities
Proctors is grateful for the efforts of over 1,000 volunteers who have been critical to its success. Many have volunteered for over twenty years. Because of the growth of program, we are continuously recruiting new volunteers and welcome your interest.
Ushers - Assist patrons with seating, distribute programs and provide assistance to patrons during daytime and/or evening performances. All new ushers must be able to work throughout the theatre comfortably. This includes being able to climb to the top of the balcony. As one of the responsibilities of the ushers is to assist with the evacuation of the building in the event of an emergency, this is not a good position for anyone with physical limitations.
Bartenders - Set up and serve beverages to customers prior to performances and during intermission. Accept cash from Patrons and make change. Beverages served include beer, wine, soft drinks and water. There is no mixing of drinks required. There is carrying involved. This is not a good position for anyone with physical limitations.
Gift Centre Staff - Assist customers with purchases, prepare sales slips, etc. The Gift Centre is open Monday through Saturday from 9-5, and for all Proctors performances. If you are available during the day, please specify.
Candy Counter Staff - Sell candy and soda prior to performances and at intermission.
All volunteers are required to work a certain number of shows per season. This number varies depending on the total number of shows.
