Volunteers are critical to The Center. Not only is their work essential to patron safety and enjoyment of the performance, but the volunteer’s contribution of their time saves The Center more than $500,000 annually. The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center employs hundreds of volunteers in a number of areas, including Usher Corps, Volunteer Office Corps and Tour Guide Corps.
All volunteers at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center start out in the Usher Corps. The Center’s Usher Corps welcomes all individuals who meet the following requirements, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation or national origin.
Ushers must be:
- at least 18 years of age
- year-round residents of the Tampa Bay area
- able to perform the required duties
- available to work at least one performance a week
- able to stand for 3 to 5 hours (not guaranteed a seat during the performance)
- able to tolerate heights (i.e. work the highest level in Carol Morsani Hall)
- willing to attend and complete all aspects of the orientation and training
If you fulfill the above requirements and are interested in becoming a Center volunteer, get your name added to the waiting list as soon as possible.
