I don'tknow about ushering. I think you could probably call someone for a local company and see about volunteering.

I live in NY, 45 mins or so outside of the city.

Lets see, this winter break I am seeing some 9 shows - then in march 2, may 1...and that's for now...

Wow. I wish I could see that many. I've only seen two shows here, but I'm going to usher in February so that'll be more.

I post there but not silly things. Lol. I just stay away from the political conversations and some other things.

if you are in nyc - call the shubert organization and the nederlander theatres and see if they need any "subs" on the ushering staffs.. that's how you get in.

Do you know how to get ushering gigs outside of NY?

Ushering is so much fun. I've been doing it for I think six years. Although the year beofre last they'd developed this policy where they wouldn't allow teenagers to usher but somone put in a good word and changed the rule back. I'm so grateful for that. Although i do wish I could do more things than just usher.

insomniak, try doing the same thing in theatres near you.

[insomniak]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:35am

I will. Do you think they'd hire teenagers?

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:35am

yea, I wish i could get on the stage or back stage (to work...) but i'll take what i can get if it's in the theatre

[Racetrack]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:36am

Yeah. Som just call and ask if they have open spots. That's the best you can do.

[Racetrack]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:38am

They probably hire teens som. What's the worst they could say?

[insomniak]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:40am

That I'm a nasty ungreatful kid who will just mess things up?

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:40am

but they didn't hire you so it's ok...

[Racetrack]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:42am

Trust me you won't. I think the person who would mess things up entirely if she ushered would be a friend who is autistic. I actually had a weird dream about it. So no is the word I was going to say.

positive thinking?

[insomniak]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:50am

I'm a cynic...

[Racetrack]

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:50am

What I meant was the worst they could say is no. But I don't think Som will have that problem.

Posted: 12/12/04 at 12:51am

Som think happy thoughts.
