I wish I had a dollar for every time I have said “volunteering at Hoyt Sherman Place is the best decision I’ve made in my retirement”! I absolutely love and am proud to be a part of such an awesome community landmark. The flexibility in being able to choose the shows you can work, is wonderful. I can see shows/performances I love at no cost. The patrons at Hoyt are always friendly and I enjoy the interaction with the people. The staff at Hoyt are very professional and treat the volunteers with the utmost respect. I feel like I am appreciated every time I work a show. I hope to continue volunteering for Hoyt Sherman Place for as long as I am able.

Volunteering at Hoyt Sherman Place is important to me because I have been able to establish long-term relationships with the staff and other volunteers. There’s a history of quality managers on duty and it is a bonus that the programming has continued to improve in both caliber and frequency. I’m happy to play a small part in making my community better.
