Call for volunteers!
Art pulls communities together, binding our creativity to our roots in ways that can fuel change, bolster resolve, and inspire new ideas. Be a part of our mission to enrich and engage the communities of Omaha and offer a safe space for everyone by becoming a volunteer at Benson Theatre. There are many ways to give your time, from ushering patrons to their seats for a local, one-of-a-kind show, to setting up our beautifully restored theatre space for movies, performances, concerts, classes, and more. Discover a new way to give back to your community in the heart of historic Benson! We can't wait to hear from you.
