Do I have to act to help out at ACT?
NO, volunteers are needed for many areas off the stage.  Some opportunities during productions times are door opener/greeter, ticket sells in the box office, distribution of programs, and ushering patrons to their seats.  There are also opportunities to pop real  theatre popcorn and sell Pepsi-Cola beverages and candy in the concession stand.

Other volunteers who want to get more closely involved with the production may want to take on directing a show, musical director, accompanist, be a stagehand, build sets, paint sets, or run the light and sound equipment.  The opportunities for volunteering don’t end there!  You can sew costumes, help find props, deliver posters for publicity, and so much more! 

The need for volunteers is endless!

How do I get on stage?
Audition dates are advertised in the Mitchell Daily Republic and on the ACT website.  Typically auditions are held eight to ten weeks prior to a production.  Stage experience doesn’t matter, you can be a seasoned actor or new to the stage! 

What benefits do I receive from volunteering?
You will meet a whole new set of friends, learn new skills, and have the satisfaction of knowing you helped to get a production on stage.

Our ever-growing team of volunteers donates thousands of hours of service annually both onstage and off, and we applaud them for their dedication and generosity.
