Ambassadors will help with print distribution, blogging, tweeting and comment on the theatre’s Facebook page and other social networking sites, spreading positive news about the theatre and its wide variety of performances and activities.

- An invitation to the opening night for each production
- Exclusive ambassador events including talks from directors, backstage tours and a chance to meet the cast.
- Taster sessions with departments within the theatre
We’ll keep in touch…
- As an ambassador you with be added to the Coliseum e-newsletter list so you’ll know exactly what’s happening at the theatre.
- Ambassadors will also receive personal updates about upcoming ambassador events and other ways you can help out at the theatre.
What we ask of you:
- To regularly distribute leaflets and posters in your local area – you know it better than we do.
- To commit to at least one Front of House volunteering session per production (you must be over 18)
- Your continued support for the Coliseum!
