Theater employee

USHER

This person often guides you to your seat with a flashlight and may hand you a program before the show begins.

An usher is the person who helps guide theatergoers to their seats, checks tickets, and keeps things running smoothly during a show. The clue is straightforward—it directly names the job title without any hidden wordplay or tricks. If you’ve ever been to a movie, concert, or play, you’ve probably seen an usher handing out programs or pointing people to the right row. It’s a common role, so the answer fits neatly once you think of the theater staff.
