An amazing organization, that has a very friendly staff. Met a lovely woman who did the usher volunteer with me, who loves theatre and wants to help, by giving back just like me. For me, it was all about helping people. In the end, we watched an amazing play with unbelievably incredibly impressive young drama actors.
