Application Deadline: 
Jul 1st, 2011

Volunteer Information

Organization Name: 
Theatre Under The Stars
Description: 

Theatre Under the Stars is a not-for-profit arts organization that presents two musicals throughout the summer at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park.

We need enthusiastic individuals interested in volunteering for our 2011 summer productions of Bye Bye Birdie and Anything Goes. We are looking to fill positions in the front of house (ushers, greeters, ticket takers, box office attendants, membership, coffee baristas, and bartenders), and backstage positions (technical, running crew, and props assistants).

Responsibilities: 

Front of house volunteers will need to be able to commit to at least five performances over the course of the season, which runs every evening from July 6th to August 20thIt is very important that our FOH volunteers are able to attend the training sessions and a minimum of five shifts.

Backstage crew will need to be available for tech week and previews (June 25-July 11th, 2010), as well as at least 50% of their assigned show’s performances for the duration of the season (11 shows). There will also be rehearsals off-site to attend to learn the show towards the end of June.

Volunteer Training (for Front of House staff) will take place on Saturday July 2nd (10:00am to noon) and Sunday July 3rd (1:00pm to 3:00pm). Volunteers will only be required to attend one of these sessions; however, if you wish to train in both box office AND another position, you will need to attend both days of training (ie. box office training on Saturday, coffee bar and usher training on Sunday).

Benefits:

We are extremely grateful of the hard work and dedication of our volunteers whom provide an invaluable contribution without which such shows could not be possible.

Many of our returning volunteers comment the greatest benefit is the opportunity to be outdoors, meet exciting new people, and be part of an important team.

As a token of our appreciation we offer our volunteers complimentary ticket vouchers, access to company discounted tickets, and invitations to special TUTS events. 

Qualifications: 

Previous experience backstage, in box office, Front of House or concessions is an asset, but we are open to all applicants with a keen interest in the arts!
