Become a Lyric Theater Volunteer

 

As a Lyric Baltimore volunteer, you must be a dedicated and committed individual who wants to enrich the lives of others in the community.  Volunteers are asked to serve as ambassadors of the Lyric Foundation, supporting the Lyrics mission, objectives and operations of our beautiful historic theater as well as a support role in our educational efforts.   

 

Volunteer Usher Responsibilities
