We are currently looking for volunteers. You can combine all three of the roles below or partake in just one area that interests you.

Opportunities to Volunteer include:

Front of House volunteers are responsible for greeting the audience, showing them to their seats and ensuring their well-being throughout the evening.

Café and Bar volunteers serve customers drinks and snacks before the show and in the interval. The bar may also remain open after the show for customers to stay and relax.
