Volunteer

Greet visitors; answer phones; sell tickets; record donations; provide administrative support to Administration Manager and Theatre Manager. Office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 4:00 pm. We have a particular need for Friday afternoon help, and occasional Wednesday afternoon help.

Skills required: bright smile, helpful attitude, basic to intermediate computer knowledge. You don't have to be a computer nerd, but a familiarity with basic computer operations will help. Training and support provided.

There are various ways of helping us promote the theatre and our shows. Update website, oversee poster production and distribution, assist with social media posts.  We recently established a program marketing team but would like to add another member or two. If you would like to learn more about these opportunity, please give us call!

We have a running list of projects that require action, and it changes as tasks are completed. Those tasks vary, but at the moment include:

• Assemble and adjust some shelving in the costume room
• Clean and adjust angle on some stage lights
• Replace bulbs in various stage lights
• Clean stage lights dimmer rack in basement - every six (6) months (blower and vacuum cleaner w/brush)
• Organize tools storage in basement

Assist performers with equipment load-in and load-out, set and focus lights, set up microphones and other sound equipment, operate sound and lighting equipment during shows. Operate projector and sound during movie presentations.  This is not as scary as it sounds, and full training will be provided. We typically present three - four shows per month and our intent is to have enough tech volunteers available so that no one would have to do more than one show a month. Typical time requirement is 3pm - 10 pm on the day of  show - usually Saturday - and occasional equipment maintenance and organization on non-show days. Movies are typically screened on  first Fridays and second or third Sunday of the month. Tech orientation and training sessions are offered on a regular basis - a great chance to come along and find out if projector, sound and lights operation is for you.

Our program team meets regularly to plan forthcoming shows. The team deals with most aspects of putting on a show - contracts, show marketing, logistics, and more. If you'd like to be part of a dynamic group, working collaboratively to put a diverse program of events together, we'd love to hear from you.

Our "Movie Maven" (or "Cinema Czar") is responsible for soliciting movie sponsorships from local businesses, securing movie screening rights, and assisting the marketing team with promotion of our movie program. This job requires a commitment of approximately 5-6 hours/week and requires some basic graphics skills and good organizational skills.

Every now and again we gather a group of people together to knock off a bunch of tasks from our to-do list. OUR NEXT WORKING BEE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON. We will be hauling redundant materials from the basement to take to the dump;  cleaning  light fixtures; and continuing our re-organization of basement storage areas. SNACKS, REFRESHMENTS, AND GOOD COMPANY PROVIDED. YOU PROVIDE THE ELBOW GREASE.

With the recent increase in scheduled shows we are in need of a few more ushers at each show. Typically 5:30- 9p on show nights and usually Saturdays.
