Volunteering at the Historic Lincoln Theatre
From the time patrons see a poster for an upcoming Lincoln Theatre event, to the day they enter the ticket office to purchase a ticket, to when they purchase popcorn before an event, as they enjoy the music of the Mighty Wurlitzer, and even after they leave the theatre for it to be cleaned, volunteers are making the whole Lincoln Theatre experience happen for our patrons.
More than 150 people volunteer for the Lincoln Theatre, working in such areas as tickets, ushering, concessions, wine bar, membership, stage set-up, cleaning or helping with fundraising events. The time commitment from any given volunteer can range from coming in once every few months to several times each weekend. Our volunteers show great flexibility in fulfilling our volunteer needs. Annually, volunteers share over 4,200 hours of their time to make each show at the Lincoln a special one for our patrons, with delicious snacks, friendly service and the organ music that really sets the mood for an enjoyable evening.
As a volunteer, you will enjoy seeing shows and films for free, meeting awesome new friends and knowing that you are ensuring that the Historic Lincoln Theatre endures as a special treasure for the performing arts in the heart of downtown Mount Vernon.
Volunteering: It’s fun. It’s easy. It’s rewarding.
