Board of Directors

The Erie Playhouse actively seeks members for our dedicated and hard-working Board of Directors. Do you have about 5-10 hours per month? Do you love live theatre? Would you like to help support one of the greatest community theatres in the nation? If you answered yes, then we want to talk to you. We always seek professionals with the following skills — legal, accounting, marketing, strategic planning, financial, human resource, community relations, production-related experience and much more.

Most of all, you must care and give of your time and talents to a community asset that has thrilled audiences for over 100 years. Board members are elected for a three-year term.

To apply, please complete the Board of Directors Application.

Ushers

One of our more popular volunteer opportunities is ushering at the Playhouse. Ushers are needed for our Mainstage productions, Concerts and Special Events. Duties include selling 50/50 tickets and concession, in addition to collecting tickets and seating patrons in the theatre. If you are interested in ushering at the Playhouse, please contact us or call 814-454-2852 ext. 0.
