Since the Blackfriars Playhouse opened in 2001, the American Shakespeare Center’s Volunteer Usher Guild has welcomed over a quarter of a million guests through its doors. Benefits of serving as an usher include complimentary tickets, special invitations, and discounts on purchases at the Blackfriars Playhouse gift shop.
To join the ASC VUG, simply attend an orientation. Usher orientations are held once a month in the Blackfriars Playhouse front lobby. Anyone over the age of 16 can be an ASC volunteer usher. Once you have completed an orientation, you can usher as often as you like.
Contact ASC for more information or for upcoming orientation dates!

Mission Statement
The American Shakespeare Center recovers the joys and accessibility of Shakespeare's theatre, language, and humanity by exploring the English Renaissance stage and its practices through performance and education.
Description
WHO WE ARE
The American Shakespeare Center -- through its performances, theatres, exhibitions, and educational programs -- seeks to make Shakespeare, the joys of theatre and language, and the communal experience of the Renaissance stage accessible to all. By re-creating Renaissance conditions of performance, the ASC explores its repertory of plays for a better understanding of these great works and of the human theatrical enterprise past, present, and future.
BLACKFRIARS PLAYHOUSE, STAUNTON, VIRGINIA
In our hometown of Staunton, Virginia, the ASC has constructed a re-creation of Shakespeare's original indoor theatre, the Blackfriars Playhouse. By following the basic principles of Renaissance theatrical production, we give our audiences some of the pleasures that an Elizabethan playgoer would have enjoyed.
OUR TOURING TROUPE, THE AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE CENTER ON TOUR
In addition to giving performances at the Blackfriars, the ASC on Tour travels the U.S. and abroad with the same unique brand of Shakespeare that thrills, delights, and educates its audiences.
EDUCATION CENTER
The ASC's Education Center brings Shakespeare's plays to life for teachers, students, and learners of all ages. Our offering of workshops, performances, actor training, and summer programs are specially tailored for you to experience Shakespeare as you never have before.
