Volunteers Needed

We’re looking for people willing to help us bring our 2026 production of William Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT to life.

Meal Preparation

During technical rehearsals and in between performances on two-show-days, we’re looking for meal preparation support.

We’ll require a meal for up to 20 company members. More details will be provided about allergy and dietary restrictions after sign up.

Parking Attendants

If you're comfortable with directing cars into parking spaces, this is the post for you!

After your shift, you're welcome to stay to watch the show for free or leave if you'd prefer.

Ushers

Are you more of a people person? Greeting guests and directing them to their ticketed seats is a key volunteer position. A friendly smile and a helpful disposition helps everyone feel welcomed and excited for the show.
