Get Involved

ACT1 Theater is an organization that runs on an all-volunteer basis.

We cannot thrive without people. And while our actors are important, it is all of the volunteers behind the scenes that make ACT1 Theater great. Opening curtains. Painting Sets. Taking tickets. Greeting patrons. Helping with costumes. Web design. Social Media. Trust us when we say we can make use of any willing volunteer. And even if you think you don’t have a particular skill set, we are always looking for people to teach- want to learn more about making costumes, set building, running tech or stage managing? We would love to help you learn.

See below for a general description of some volunteer opportunities. See something that interests you? Sign up below. We promise to never share your contact information with anyone.

Benefits

In addition to being a part of creating quality theatrical experiences and being a part of an amazing fellowship, our volunteers receive discounted tickets and, in some cases, free admission to a show. Additionally, our volunteers will be the first to learn about upcoming events and shows at ACT1 Theater.

Front of House

Performance Nights. Greeters, Box Office, Concessions, Ushers and general setup of the theater. If you are capable of speaking with people, you can do this.

Sets and Paint

Weekend days weeks prior to opening night. Construct and install set pieces, adapt set pieces and furniture, painting (both painting walls and images), and prop construction. No experience necessary- we would love to teach you.

Tech

Performances and a few weeks of rehearsals prior to opening night- plus some weekend days of installing lights and microphones. Running and designing Lights, Sound and Video. Experience a plus, but not required.

Production Crew

Performances and a few weeks of rehearsals prior to opening night. Stage hands to assist with set changes, effects, and/or whatever help is required. Basically a ninja with an ear piece. No experience necessary- we would love to teach you.

Costumes

Weeks/months in advance of opening night. Costume design, take measurements, find/make/alter costume pieces. Experience a plus, but not required.

Literally Any Skill You Have

You have a skill? We can use it. Seriously. Accountant? You bet. Restaurant server? We’d love for you to greet people. Project manager? We will never stop using people with this valuable skill. Play the 5 string banjo? We’ve been trying to do Cotton Patch Gospel for years.
