Ways to Volunteer, and Participate

Got stage fright? If the idea of acting gives you hairballs, there's good news: you don't have to audition to help out. Ushers, backstage run crew, choreographers, directors, and many other unseen volunteers are vital to the life of our theater.

To volunteer backstage or in any capacity, Email Liz, cwACT Production Coordinator at: lizkawleski@yahoo.com

Please take some time to consider how you might contribute and participate.
