Teen Ushers & Ambassadors

The Teen Usher & Ambassador program is a competitive program in its 10th season. Being a Teen Usher or Ambassador (for teens entering 9th-12th grade) immerses you in the performing arts experience. Not only will you be giving back to your community through volunteering, but you will have access to top-notch performances, and you will be a part of a community where all are welcome and accepted.

Teen Ushers

As a new or returning Teen Usher, you will volunteer at each show on the Premier Health Broadway in Dayton Season. Additional volunteer opportunities throughout the season may be offered but will not be required. Teen Ushers work closely with our seasoned ushers to learn what is necessary to achieve outstanding customer service. You will direct guests to their seats, hand out programs, and take tickets.

Teen Ambassadors

Teen Ambassadors are considered mentors of the Teen Usher program and will be viewed as leaders among their peers. Teen Ambassadors must have completed one full season as a Teen Usher to be considered. Teen Ambassadors will have additional weeknight and weekend opportunities at performances beyond the Premier Health Broadway in Dayton Season to be determined at a later date.

Ushering Schedule & Required Dates

For Broadway Series shows, teens will be allowed to schedule their volunteer shifts for any performance during the run of a show. Volunteer opportunities are available from November 2022-June 2023.
