Benefits of becoming a Volunteering Friend
As a volunteer you have the opportunity of meeting and interacting with people who have an interest in theatre and the performing arts, who wish to contribute in a non- financial way to the operation of the theatre. You also gain satisfaction from serving and volunteering your time for the community.
All volunteers assist us in delivering a first class product to the community and they become advocates of the theatre.
