- If it’s a matinee, stay, as you would if you were ushering, until the audiences have left. We do sell merchandise after matinees.

 

PARKING INFO: With construction taking place on campus, accessible parking is always a challenge. If you are physically able to walk a short distance, we request that you park at Porter College (turn left off Heller just before you get to Meyer Drive) and walk to the Theatre Arts Center. Please reserve the very limited parking in the Theatre Art lot for those volunteers with physical limitations. Parking in BOTH the Theatre Arts and Porter parking lots requires a $2. Regardless of your parking location, please give yourself a little extra time!

VOLUNTEER DATES:
If you have filled out forms already, simply call to schedule your volunteer hours. Confirmation is by email and while we will strive to respond to you in a timely manner, if you do not receive confirmation of your schedule within a week, please call. Click here to view  production calendar.

Choose your dates carefully! Late cancellations create difficulties for our house staff. If an individual from your group must cancel, please show up with the rest of your group, as large groups are impossible to replace.
