The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is seeking ushers to welcome patrons and guide them to their seats during performances. Ushering offers volunteers the opportunity to expand their horizons, explore new interests and contribute to the cultural community of South Florida.

Volunteers usher and serve as community ambassadors for the Broward Center and its affiliate venues: the Parker Playhouse, the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center at Nova Southeastern University and the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center. Volunteers commit to a regular weekly shift (choosing a regular evening or matinee) for a full season. The Broward Center volunteer ushers are a dynamic mix of theater-lovers, from retired seniors and baby boomers to high school students.

Volunteers are eligible to begin ushering performances upon completion of a three hour orientation sessions scheduled for late September that includes a full tour of the Broward Center and an introduction to ushering. For the volunteer application, contact the volunteer office at 954.468.2684 or e-mail volunteer@browardcenter.org. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is located in the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District at 201 SW Fifth Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.
