The Cultch | Vancouver East Cultural Centre
2010-2011: Vancouver's most intimate venue. Contemporary theatre, dance and music

The Cultch is always looking for outgoing, reliable, friendly people with an interest in the arts to volunteer as ushers. How else would we manage to get everyone into the theatre and still start the show on time?

As a volunteer usher at The Cultch, you play a critical role: you greet patrons, respond to inquiries, prepare venue materials, distribute programs and help with seating for each show within our extensive new season, as well as for rental companies using our space. If you have a love of arts, a willingness to be flexibly helpful, and are willing to donate your time by helping others, you’d be a great fit. Any customer service or ushering experience you may already have will only enhance the whole experience!

As our audiences are quite diverse, we welcome anyone with second or third languages, anyone new to the city, students, seniors – in fact, everyone is welcome! And as you’d expect when you drop in for a visit, The Cultch will be a good host, and provide you with everything you need from training, to on-the-job materials like nametags, flashlights, and T-shirts. We welcome volunteers throughout the season – the more the merrier.

So if you’re looking for a great way to get involved in the community, meet new people, stay informed about the local arts scene and, of course, see great live shows, then The Cultch, with our newly renovated and restored facility, is the place to be. For more information, please contact us at volunteer@thecultch.com.

Ushers: The Cultch is always looking for outgoing, reliable & friendly people with an interest in the arts to join our volunteer team as ushers. Our ushers are the first point of contact for guests as they enter the building, so play a crucial role in creating a welcoming atmosphere at The Cultch. No experience is required as we provide you with full training, but previous ushering or customer service experience is always an asset.

Thank you for your interest in joining our usher team, however we are not accepting new applicants at this time. Please check back in the fall. Thank you!
