Theatre is a volunteer-driven organization. Volunteers make up the heart and the lifeblood of this theatre. At present time we are seeking a volunteer-base of people to help out. From the countless hours that go into the rehearsals for the plays and the building of the sets to the large number of people who facilitate each of the performances, we have a wide range of volunteer opportunities and needs. If you are interested in getting involved in theatre, or would like to perform a worthwhile service to the community, we would love to have you. No experience is necessary and our staff is available to provide complete, hands-on training. Contact us today if you would be like to be a part of our volunteer family.

Volunteers who enjoy building and painting are great for this area! The Set Crew assists the Technical Director in constructing and painting the set and large prop pieces. Set and prop construction is a great place to learn some basic carpentry skills. Training is provided to those without experience. Lots of base coating and detail work is needed on each set. A lot of our effects are done with paint. We can train you on the detail work! The variety in experience levels of painters provides a great opportunity to work together

Properties are anything that is not an actor or part of the set! If you enjoy antiquing and flea marketing, this is the area for you! Props people are responsible for finding / borrowing / buying / building all the "dressing" on the walls and the hand props used by actors. This can also include real food or drink for each performance.

Time Requirement: Flexible! You will be given a deadline when everything needs to be at the theatre, and you can work on your own time!

If you enjoy messing around with your stereo or CD system at home, then have we got a job for you! Novices will be trained to run our sound equipment. You will get to learn how and why we use microphones, how to record and run cues, and how to manually mix the various sound sources together. You will be responsible for helping set up the sound: mics, taped cues, etc., prior to tech rehearsal. The timing, execution, and levels of the cues are set during the tech rehearsal. Once the show opens, you run the sound.

Time Requirement: 5 rehearsals, 10 performances, and additional work calls for setup and recording.

This is the right hand of the Director. During rehearsals, the Stage Manager keeps a record of all the movements on the stage, a running list of anything added that is not in the script, and prompts the actors with their lines during rehearsals. During performances, the Stage Manager "calls" the show: sits on headset backstage guiding the tech crew members through their cues. The Stage Manager is also responsible for coordinating locking up after performances with the House Manager.

Time Requirement: 5 days per week for 5-8 weeks of rehearsal for approximately 3 hours per day and 10 performances.

House Manager

The House Manager works one or more (you decide!) performances during the run of a production. He or she comes in one hour prior to curtain and stays until the end of the performance. Duties include supervising the ushers, collecting money for reserved tickets, assigning seats to patrons without reservations, being on tap for any seating problems, checking in with the Stage Manager to find out when to open the theatre doors, adjusting the heat/AC, and generally overseeing the smooth running of the performance from out front. A list of duties is posted in the box office for easy reference. Must have some computer experience.

Time Requirement: 1 hour prior to curtain time until the end of the performance for 1 to 10 performances

Ushers

Ushers greet the public, take tickets, help patrons find their seats, and hand out programs. Ushers are friendly and helpful. This is a great way to get started and meet a lot of people. Many ushers volunteer in groups with their friends! We use six ushers per performance.
