Join the Theater Production Team
There's lots of need for this exciting short-term, variable
commitment. Volunteer to help on technical support for one production at a time:
costumes, painters, carpenters, backstage monitors, etc. Or, help with
publicity: lit drops, contacts with other organizations to get the word
out, postering the city, taking materials to libraries, working the
commons area at lunch to leaflet and stuffing envelopes for mass
mailings.
