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. Please take some time to consider how you might contribute and participate. Contact us to volunteer, or for more information.
