Volunteers
Each year, the Nutcracker could not be produced without the generous support of hundreds of family members and friends of our cast who volunteer to help out behind the scenes. New this year, we will be managing all of our volunteer needs through an exciting website: www.volunteerspot.com. This site allows you to sign up for the shifts that are most convenient for you. It will even email you a friendly reminder before your shift.
Here is a taste of the types of volunteer duties we have available:
Costume Shop: Volunteers in this area can help sew/alter costumes during our weekend rehearsals and are also needed in our Costume Shop at the theater. Those who work the final performance will want to plan on staying for up to 2 hours after the show over to help with packing up the travel boxes. The more people who volunteer, the fast this will happen!
Quick Change/Guest Artist Dresser: These crucial roles ensure our danvers arrive at their place on stage dressed and ready to perform. Those who work quick change should be able to work both the technical and dress rehearsals to ensure consistency in duties through the run of the show. You will take instructions from the Costumer and Hard and Make-up Supervisor.
Baby Mouse Room:We will need baby mouse leaders to work both the tech and dress rehearsal to be the "go to" people for the run of the show. This is a very important volunteer role and we need dependable leaders to make things run smoothly. We need at least one leader per show that has been through the tech and dress rehearsals.
Note for all volunteers: Children in the cast must be supervised at all times. You are not able to leave until each child is picked up by their parent or guardian. This will happen by a process where parents check in with the hall monitor and then a volunteer or monitor liaison will escort the child from the dressing room to the backstage monitor area. Please plan ahead to remain at your shift all all children have been reunited with their parent or guardian. Your duty is not over when the show has ended. ALL volunteers are called 2 hours prior to any performance.
