The Palace Theater Ambassadors are a specially trained group of engaging volunteers well-versed in the theater’s history, architectural design and entertaining anecdotal information. On the first Friday of every month and on select weekend and weekdays throughout the year, they work as a team to facilitate guided tours of the historic venue to members of the public. Tours are conducted at various times throughout the week, but primarily in the daytime and afternoon hours.
Volunteers interested in participating in the program must be at least 18 years of age and have excellent communication, organization and interpersonal skills. They should be comfortable speaking in front of large groups and possess the ability to think on their feet. Volunteer hours are flexible based on tour schedules and individual availability, but each shift requires a minimum two-hour time commitment on average.
Individuals interested in joining the Ambassadors’ program are encouraged to sign-up for the recruitment meeting on July 22, by emailing Marketing and Programs Assistant Samantha Cloutier at cloutier@palacetheaterct.org. After the initial meeting, volunteers will be required to attend a series of subsequent training sessions prior to becoming an official Palace Theater tour guide.
