Celebrate 30 Years
Shape the Legacy of the Brooks Center
Thirty years ago, the Friends of the Brooks Center came together to create a home for the performing arts at Clemson. As we look forward to the next 30 years, join us in shaping the continued legacy of artistic excellence at the Brooks Center. To attract outstanding artists, we need outstanding facilities. After 30 years, many spaces in the building need renovation. Due to the growth of the Department of Performing Arts, building additions are necessary to create much-needed space. The Brooks Center is dedicated to creating a welcoming and accessible environment. We will continue to prioritize projects like the ADA parking expansion, ramp, and Brooks Theatre balcony elevator. Our ability to carry out our mission relies on your generosity. By making a gift to our operating campaign, you help ensure the Brooks Center continues to inspire audiences for the next 30 years.

Volunteer
Do you love the performing arts and interacting with people? We have the volunteer opportunity for you!
Our volunteer ushers ensure patrons feel welcome and comfortable at the Brooks Center. Ushers work with the House Manager to seat patrons, pass out programs and scan tickets. Once the audience is inside the theatre our ushers can enjoy the show as well!
Opportunities to volunteer range from our morning Tri-ART performances for local K-12 audiences to our evening performances. Ushers must volunteer for at least four events each season and are required to arrive one hour before curtain.
We have two training opportunities each August for new and returning ushers. All volunteers must attend one of these training sessions to participate. New volunteers must also complete a background check.
If you are interested in becoming an usher, please complete the form below.
