Concessions and Usher Volunteers

In appreciation for concessions and usher volunteer service, our volunteers are given one (1) complimentary ticket each which must be used for the performance worked.  Unless otherwise stated within the signup notice or coordinated with the General Manager, all Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.  Concessions volunteers must be at least 21 years of age  and must fully comply with ABC laws, regulations and requirements. 

Because Volunteers are critical to Creative Cauldron Front of House operations, PLEASE... 
  • Do plan to assist House Management during intermissions;
  • Do plan to assist with ten (10) minute cleanup after the performance if needed;
  • Do arrive on time for volunteer service; and,
  • Do give Creative Cauldron 72 hours notice when canceling volunteer commitment(s) so there is possibly enough time to fill the volunteer slot vacanted by your absence.     
As seating for volunteers will be assigned, volunteers wishing to work in groups and/or volunteers wishing to be seated with specific guests during the performance worked, must contact us at least 24 hours BEFORE reporting for duty to ask about the possibility of adjusting predetermined volunteer seating assignments. 

At this time, mask wearing throughout our venue is optional.
