WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS

MAKE A DIFFERENCE! GET ENGAGED!

Front of House Volunteers

Every production needs a great front of house team, and the commitment is minimal — sometimes just 30 minutes of your time! If you’ll already be at the theater waiting for your performer, consider coming in an hour early and staying an hour after the show to help out. It makes a real difference.

Available positions include:

Concessions — Serve snacks and beverages during intermissions.

RAMP Server — Assist in serving beverages to adult patrons through our Responsible Alcohol Management Program.

Door List Attendant — Welcome guests and manage entry for a smooth arrival experience.

Ushering — Guide patrons to their seats and provide friendly assistance throughout the performance.

Costuming Volunteers Wanted

No sewing skills needed! We welcome volunteers of all experience levels to help with costuming in whatever way suits you — sewing, crafting, organizing, backstage, or laundry.

Open to ages 8 and up. Children under 12 are welcome with a guardian.

Interested? Fill out this form!

DreamBuilders

DreamBuilders is a free open shop night at DreamWrights, held twice a month for builders and anyone with a project they want to make.

Our scenic shop is open for you to use, with saws and other power tools, sewing machines, a 3D printer, and space for painting and woodworking. Basically anything you’d find in a theater shop. Bring a project of your own, or pick up one of the props or set pieces we have waiting for some attention. Everyone works at their own pace, and people are happy to share what they know along the way.

Upcoming Sessions (6 to 9 pm)

  • Tuesday, November 3
  • Thursday, November 12
  • Wednesday, December 2
  • Wednesday, December 16

Special Puppet Making Workshop
