Usher

Philadelphia PA

Description

Ushers will work directly with the Our People Entertainment team to ensure a smooth and organized seating experience for attendees at Welcome America events. Ushers will greet attendees when they arrive at their designated seating area, then show the attendees their seat. To gain an understanding of the event flow, Ushers will arrive a half hour before the event, as reflected in their schedule, and learn where restrooms and exits are located. The chairs at each event will be placed in a specific order/location, so Ushers will also be responsible for keeping aisles clear and seats in their correct positions. They act as an on-site representation of the event, and are able to answer questions from the public or Producer with a professional, inviting attitude. All hires must meet the production standards set by OPE and on-site Producers.
