Volunteers for the Performing Arts



Welcome to The Saints!


The Saints is a non-profit, volunteer organization that serves the Chicagoland performing arts community by providing ushers for over 150 venues, large and small. In return for their time, these ‘Saints’ earn a seat to some of the finest theatre, music and dance in the country.

Interested in Becoming a Saints Venue?


The Saints were organized in 1980 with the mission of "supporting performing arts organizations in Chicago and nearby communities through volunteer and charitable services." Over the years, this has generally come to mean providing a smiling face to greet people at your venue and make them feel welcome. Our volunteers provide their time at no cost to your organization, but simply for the opportunity to enjoy the performance.
