Volunteer – Volunteer ushers are very important to the Coronado Performing Arts Center. Ushers are our ambassadors for the theatre and the first contact with our patrons. Part of the wonderful experience we want to create for our patrons comes from our ushers. For more information on volunteering at the Coronado, please call 815-968-2722, ext. 17
