KCA annually hosts a wide variety of musical, dance and dramatic presentations, as well as many cross-cultural events, ceremonies, recitals, corporate meetings, and rallies.

KCA ushers work the front lines, are the face of KCA and our “Ambassadors of Good Will.” Ushers take/scan tickets, provide seating direction, insure that our “house rules” are followed, answer a myriad of patron questions and, on occasion, assist with merchandise sales, Meet & Greet operations and post-show clean-up of venue. Available shifts, which range from 3-6 hours depending on need and program, are at various times of the day and evening with many weekend opportunities – perfect for those looking for a flexible work schedule to complement school or additional employment commitments.

KCA is located on the campus of Queens College (65-30 Kissena Blvd., Flushing, NY 11367). For additional information and to request an application, email Jason Lucas, Theatre and Venue Operations Manager for KCA at Jason.Lucas@qc.cuny.edu.
