Ushering is a fun and easy way to get more involved with arts and culture in Cleveland Heights. Our season runs from October to May and we're looking to grow our team. In return, you get a chance to see our ground-breaking season productions while meeting other performing arts enthusiasts.
Dobama is proud to have an incredible group of dedicated volunteers who work with us regularly. We depend on our amazing volunteers to help serve the thousands of patrons who pass through our doors each year. As an usher, you will help our patrons feel welcome and comfortable as they enter our theatre spaces to find their seats, take tickets, coat check and concessions help.
Giving back has never been so entertaining. We look forward to meeting you!
Our season begins with Make Believe by Bess Wohl.
The ghosts of childhood never disappear. In the attic of one family’s home, four young siblings recreate their everyday lives in a game of make-believe. Meanwhile, the world beneath them holds a more ominous reality. Tony nominee Bess Wohl’s new play is a moving meditation on how childhood events can continue to haunt us in our adult lives.
