Kravis begins new volunteer orientation

In preparation for its new season, which starts in September, the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is seeking interested volunteers.

New volunteer orientations will be held Sept. 14 at 10 a.m. and Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. Both events will be held in the Kravis Center’s Persson Hall.

“With over 400 volunteers, the Kravis Center knows that the show would not go on without the dedicated corps of people who donate their valuable time to the center,” usher coordinator Karole Cooney said. “While many volunteers have been with us since opening night, we are now seeking applicants to join the ranks and become an integral part of this vibrant theater.”

There are volunteer opportunities as ushers and tour guides, and to work in hospitality, gift shop, data entry, the education department and the administrative offices.

To become an usher, applicants must complete a training course about Kravis Center operations. The course includes information about emergency evacuations, seating, show procedures and customer service skills.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer is encouraged to fill out the online application and bring it to the orientation program. If unable to attend the orientation, submit the application to Beth Foster, Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, 701 Okeechobee Blvd.
