Thank you for volunteering for the Arise Year-End Recital 2026!

Please read the information below carefully for your dress code, responsibilities, and other important details. After reviewing, send us an email to confirm you’ve received this information and to ask any questions.

Role Overview
Your duties take place before, during, and after the show.

Check-In
When you arrive, please check in with one of our coordinators at the ticket table located in front of the theatre doors. You will receive your badge and any final instructions there.

• Noelle will be wearing a badge labelled “Backstage Coordinator”

• Maryann will be wearing a badge labelled “Lobby Coordinator”

Responsibilities

• Welcome guests at the theatre doors with a smile and a kind word

• Work in pairs: one checking tickets, one handing out programs

• Check that each guest has a ticket (printed or on their phone); no scanning required

• Offer programs to guests; if supplies run low, ask families to share and restock from Maryann

• Stay attentive and avoid socializing during busy entry times (chatting with friends as they are coming in slows down the line for everyone)

• Open and close theatre doors at the start, intermission, and end of the show

• During closing announcements, get baskets from Maryann for program collection

• As guests exit, thank them and offer to collect programs for reuse or recycling

• Return collected programs to Maryann once the crowd has thinned

Dress Code
Semi-formal attire is required. Think “church clothes” or a classy party outfit: neat and polished. 

During the Show
If you choose to purchase a ticket and watch the performance, please sit in an aisle seat near the back. This will help minimize disruption when entering after the show has started.

Final Note
Please remember to smile and greet everyone warmly!

Let us know if you have any questions. We appreciate your help and look forward to having you on the team!
