The Library offers docents discounted tickets to theatre performances, literary readings, the Folger Consort, and other public programs, as well as a discount in the Museum Shop. Docents are also invited to free lectures and scholarly colloquia. Ushers Volunteer ushers play a vital role in the success of the Folger s numerous performances and programs . Ushers assist with ticket-taking, distributing stagebills, helping patrons to find their seats, and selling concessions, among other responsibilities. In exchange, ushers see the performance as our guest, and although performances often sell out, every effort is made to provide ushers with seats.
Every effort is made to schedule ushers for their first choice of performances.
However, due to the popularity of some events, an usher may someetimes be scheduled for their second or third choice. Ushers are encouraged to sign up with a friend. No previous ushering experience is required.
