We are in need of ushers for Dobama's 5th and final mainstage  production
for this season, The Lyons, which runs through Sunday, May 19, 2013.
 
If you are interested in volunteering as an usher, please send an e-mail to
lberenson at dobama.org, or call 216-381-3323 during the hours of 9am and 10pm.
 
Here are the dates for this production (with arrival times) when ushers are
still needed:

Here is a list of the positions that we need for each show:
 
Concessions (1-2): to be positioned at the concession stand to sell drinks,
snacks, wine & beer to patrons
Tickets / programs (1-2): to be positioned at the theatre door to take
tickets and provide programs to patrons
Seater (1): to help patrons find seats, especially at sold-out shows (there
are no assigned seats - all shows have general admission)
Surveys (1): handing out surveys to patrons
Greeter (1): to be positioned at the main entrance to greet patrons, and
direct them to the box office or the theatre
 
Once you become an usher, you will receive a link to the Usher Schedule
online (updated regularly), and an Usher Information document that will tell
you everything you need to know about working as a Dobama usher.  In the
meantime, here are a few FAQ's:
 
1.     Dress: Black & white, any combination
2.     Arrival and Time Commitment: Ushers are requested to arrive 1 hr
prior to the show's curtain time (arrival times are shown above), and are
required to stay through the intermission (if there is a pre-show talk,
ushers will be asked to come 15 minutes earlier)
3.     Watching the Show: Most of the time, ushers will be allowed to find a
seat and watch the entire show.  However, if there is a sold-out house, and
there is not enough seating for ushers, you will be given a comp ticket for
another performance (preferably on Thursday or Sunday).  It may be a good
idea to sign up for an early show, and then if necessary, you can use your
comp ticket for a later show
 
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone else you know who may be
interested in ushering at Dobama.
 
Thanks, and I look forward to working with you soon.
