Give the Gift of Time

Geva Theatre is supported by the Rochester community in many ways, be it ticket sales, individual giving or partnerships with local businesses.

We are also proud to enjoy the efforts of over 300 volunteers, who donate their time and energy to each performance throughout our season. These volunteers range in age, ability, availability, and backgrounds, which makes for a wonderful mix of talent and enthusiasm for every assignment they undertake.

Becoming a Volunteer

Geva Theatre Volunteers are asked to help with several responsibilities while at the Theatre, including:

  • Preparing the Theatre before performances
  • Ticket-taking and helping patrons in the lobby
  • Guiding patrons to their seats
  • Helping in our coat room and gift shop
  • Light cleaning of the Theatre after performances
  • Assisting our staff during busy periods

Please refer to our Volunteer Manual for a full breakdown of guidelines and expectations before you apply.  You can then fill out our Volunteer Application. Upon receiving your application, we will compare your availability to our current performance needs.  Due to time constraints, new applications are typically only processed when there is a break in between shows.

 

If you have any questions, please email volunteermgr@gevatheatre.org

Volunteer Training

Geva Theatre Volunteers are asked to perform a variety of responsibilities during each performance. A brief explanation of each can be found in our Volunteer Manual.

All volunteers are required to complete an orientation prior to their first shift. Each volunteer shift will start with a volunteer meeting to go over any details specific to that day and review positions as needed. There will also always be a house manager on hand to answer any questions that you may have.

Our goal is to create a wonderful environment for Patrons and Volunteers alike.

Online Tools

Geva Theatre utilizes a number of online tools to help our Volunteers.

  • Online volunteer portal, that allows volunteers to easily create and change their own schedule.
  • E-mail reminders of upcoming assignments
  • A weekly email newsletter

Our goal at Geva Theatre is to make the act of gifting your time as a Volunteer as easy as possible. Each online tool is evaluated on a regular basis for its support in this endeavor. Volunteers are required to have an email, as this is the primary method of contact, and is used to sign in to the volunteer portal.

Please reference our Volunteer Manual to learn about what other Online Tools Geva Theatre utilizes.
