About the Role

Our Head Ushers are often the first impression our valued guests receive upon arriving at an MRU campus venue. Our Head Ushers assist in greeting our patrons and with patron traffic flow in our venues. Head Ushers are the main contact and responsible for supervising a small team of Ushers on duty. Head Ushers help oversee the floor as the Ushers help guests with having their tickets scanned and directing them to their seats.
