Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is hands-on with her desire for a career in the theater!

The 16-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt appeared to work as an usher at the Reefer Madness: The Musical reunion concert on Tuesday, July 30.

PEOPLE was on hand for the event, which was held at The Whitley in Hollywood, California. That's also where a hit revival of the show, directed and choreographed by Spencer Liff, is now playing through Oct. 27.

At Tuesday's concert, Vivienne was spotted helping people find their seats ahead of the reunion concert before moving to chat with some of the other employees during the show.

The special evening included songs and stories with the original cast members who starred in the musical 25 years ago, including Kristen Bell, Christian Campbell, Harry S. Murphy, John Kassir, Lori Alan, Stacy Sibley, Larry Poindexter, Samantha Harris, Aukai Cain, Elijah Myles Breckel and Paul Nygro.

Reefer Madness: The Musical originally opened in Los Angeles in 1998. A satire of the 1936 cult classic propaganda film of the same name, the musical comes from Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney, who collaborated on the show's book and score.

Vivienne previously attended the May 30 opening night of the revival, alongside her mother. They showed their support for Bell, who produced the musical alongside Alan Cumming and others.

Speaking to PEOPLE about the act of kindness, Bell — who starred in the original production as Mary Lane — praised the Eternals star, 49, for her "lovely gesture" of support.

"She just said she wanted to come out and support," she said. "Which I thought was a lovely gesture, particularly for a project that is launching in Los Angeles where it's not the biggest theater community, or it maybe has a different identity than a New York community."

Vivienne's love for theater has blossomed over the last few years, after seeing a performance of The Outsiders at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in 2023.

"Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives," Angelina previously said in a statement. "She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute."

The Oscar winner later opened up about working with her daughter on the show, saying that witnessing the material through Vivienne's appreciation of theater is what initially drew her to the show.

"And then I had the privilege of watching everyone work over this last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the whole way.”

"For me, it was a moment to learn more about Viv," she added.

She had so much skin in the game and so much curiosity about it all, and same thing with Vivienne,” Taymor said. “Vivienne would watch the show and give me the most amazing notes. Like, incredible eye. So, it was a wonderful, wonderful support, and also, obviously, made the work better.”
