Volunteer Opportunities

Public Show Usher

The Rose needs ushers at productions all season to help greet patrons as they arrive, open doors, tear tickets, assist at Will Call, escort guests to their seats and more. During the show, ushers help answer questions ranging from bathroom locations to emergency procedures. Ushers must be at least 14 years old or accompanied by an adult.

School Show Usher

The Rose offers school field trip shows Tuesday through Friday during the school year. Ushers are needed to help unload busses and escort school groups to their designated seating areas within theater. During the show, ushers help answer questions ranging from bathroom locations to emergency procedures. Ushers must be at least 16 years old or accompanied by an adult.

Concessions

The Rose offers concessions during the intermission of our holiday show and summer musical. Volunteers help set up, sell and restock the concession table with cookies, soda and water, as needed.

Administration

The Rose’s box office, marketing and finance departments are frequently in need of volunteer assistance. For more information, contact Audience Services Director Mandy Aleksiak at mandya@rosetheater.org.

Costume Design/Rental

Rose costume shop volunteers assist with changing hangers, laundering and re-boxing costumes and assisting rental customers. Volunteers who know how to sew may also help with costume repair. For more information, contact Costume and Makeup Director Zach Kloppenborg at zachk@rosetheater.org.

Teen Volunteer Team

If you’re a teenager who wants to learn more about theater, earn free show tickets and more, we invite you to join The Rose’s Teen Volunteer Team. Teen volunteers contribute hours by helping run the light boards, paint scenery, prepare props and costumes, teach classes and more. In return, they earn volunteer credit that can later be traded for free tickets, classes and half-price tuition for summer camps. To register for The Rose’s Teen Volunteer Team, please email teenvolunteers@rosetheater.org for a registration packet.
