If you would like to volunteer, the first step is to get on the volunteer list. Complete the VOLUNTEER INTEREST FORM above letting us know a little about you and how you'd like to help.  When specific needs arise, you will be contacted. As an all-volunteer organization with only one actual employee, your time and skills are not only appreciated, but necessary. All volunteers will be given a written acknowledgement (and thank you) for hours served; this is helpful for high school or college students needing to log a specific number of volunteer hours. Additionally, any in-kind donations of materials will be logged as a charitable donation and since we are a non-profit organization, these donations may be tax deductible.

Ways to Help:

Picture
Our Senior Players troupe can use the expertise of carpenters (even hobbyists) for limited set building, painters, costume-makers, and other support volunteers. This is on a very limited basis currently, but will expand once we become operational.
Picture
In the summer months, we offer tours to individuals and small groups and are open limited hours / days for drop ins.  Volunteers are needed to lead these efforts. Training and scripts provided.
Picture
As a yet-to-be-restored theater, there are always cleaning projects inside - from light dusting, sweeping and vacuuming to more intensive deep cleaning and debris removal.
Picture
At this time, we only do one large mailing per year, but that may expand. Even though, there are a few weeks in late October to early November every year that we could use envelope stuffers and paper folders.

Picture
Volunteers are always welcome and needed for specific events. Depending on the event, we may need help with concessions, ushering, set up and take down, and more.
Picture
Volunteers are needed to take / scan tickets at the door or for check-in at some events. 
Picture
Until we are operational, we do not have staff for groundskeeping.  We could use help shoveling snow on the sidewalk in the winter and weed-wacking the grassy area in the lower lot to the North of the building during summer months.
Picture
If not covered in any of the other categories, LET US KNOW how you'd like to help. If you're a performer, would you like to volunteer to do a fundraising show? Are you an electrician, carpenter or other tradesperson who would like to help out from time to time or on a specific project? Let us know!!
