Join A Committee
Volunteering on a Production Committee is a great way to be involved in a show without being onstage. Our Production Volunteers work behind the scenes to ensure that a production runs smoothly.
Non-Production Committees assist with the advancement of the theatre, diversity, planning the upcoming seasons, and so much more!
