An enjoyment of teaching and of children is a must.

Outreach/Public Relations for the FAC Theatre Company: Volunteers act as “ambassadors” for the theatre. Before a theatre production opens (which usually happens six times a year) we need volunteers to do some outreach and public relations. It is simple! Volunteer will go to pre-determined locations to drop off flyers and talk up the upcoming musical or play. There is some leg work involved, but we will find places close to volunteer’s workplace, home or school. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know the theatre productions and the community.

But lots of action when changing scenes, music, choosing lights and stages. If you like theatre, want to know what goes on behind the scenes, and have a lot, some (or no) experience, we need you! Come and help us make the scene livelier—any bit of help…Helps!!

Time commitment: variable. If you cannot work at a performance for which you have signed up, you must find a replacement.
