Granada Theatre Seeks Applicants for Volunteer Ambassadors Program

The Granada Theatre is now accepting applications for its Volunteer Ambassador Program. Created in 2008 after the renovation of The Granada Theatre was complete, the program boasts over 140 volunteers who work as ambassadors for the theater with the community, and serves an important role in delivering the best possible guest experience for every performance. The Ambassador Program will hold an orientation on Thursday, June 27 at 6:30pm at The Granada Theatre (1214 State St.). Interested applicants are encouraged to fill out applications (available on the Granada Theatre's website here), and are required to attend the orientation and theatre tour training in order to become a Granada Volunteer Ambassador.

Volunteer Ambassadors at The Granada Theater play a key role in helping to shape the overall patron theater experience. Ambassadors facilitate the efficient, professional and safe movement of ticket holders from the street to their seats in a manner that enhances each patron's enjoyment of the performance they are attending. Volunteers take pride in providing outstanding customer service and maintaining the highest level of service to the theatre community. Their mission is to be gracious, welcoming and focused on the patron, all to enhance the theatre experience for their guests.
