Magic Theatre has a large group of dedicated volunteers that work with us each season which we value as an important part of our theatre family. There are ushering opportunities available for every show of our current and upcoming productions!
Ushers are required to arrive at the theatre one hour before curtain and must be dressed in all black. Duties may include:
• stuffing programs
• tearing tickets
• assisting patrons to their seats
• assisting with operating concessions or merchandise counters
• light clean-up of the theatre after the performance
In return, ushers are able to see the show free of charge in some of the best seats in the house. They also get 50% off at Magic Theatre Concessions Lounge. The schedule can be arranged at your convenience!
To become part of our volunteer usher team and to schedule a time to work with us please contact the Magic Theatre Box Office.

Please Note: In order to usher with us you must confirm a shift on a specific date. Magic Theatre does not have a lot of room for storage of personal belongings during your ushering shift, so please come with as few personal belongings as possible (large bags, backpacks, laptops, suitcases, and grocery bags are all difficult to accommodate). Small purses are acceptable.
Come celebrate with us as we are joined by some of the nation's leading playwrights, right on the Magic stage!
Join us as we hear stories of each playwright’s inspiration and creative process, while partaking in drinks and decadent dining, provided by Taste Catering and Events. It will be a night you won’t ever forget!
Don't miss this intimate opportunity to dine with these phenomenal voices in the American theatrical landscape.

César Enríquez:
Cesar Enriquez is considered to be one of the major influencing forces in Mexican cabaret theatre, reimagines the traditions of the Mexican Tent theater; speaking with a powerful dissident voice, it employs political satire, gender bending, improvisation, music and dance. La Pretty Guoman has toured throughout Mexico, and has been seen in many renowned festivals such as El Festival Iberoamericano de Cádiz, in Spain, El Festival de Teatro de Donostia in San Sebastián, and the Festival Latino de Chicago. It has also been presented in New York where it took residence at the The Lark Institute as part of the 2019 Playwright Exchange program.
