One of the most wonderful things about theatre is how it requires all different sorts of skill sets and talents. You don’t have to be an actor to be a star at SCP! We’re always in need of volunteers to help backstage, building sets, designing or in administration. All you need is an interest in theatre and some time.
Check out the list of volunteers we’re looking for below!
Production Staff:
• Directors and Assistant Directors – In general we look
for people with some theatre background and directing experience, but
if you’re just starting out and would like to learn the ropes, you may
want to consider being an assistant director.
• Stage Managers & Assistant Stage Managers – stage managers
need to be responsible, organized, good with people, and strong team leaders.
They are the ones who run the show, corral all the actors, and assist
the director. They take notes during rehearsal, communicate with the designers,
organize the run crew, and call all the cues during the show.
• Designers – set, costumes, props, lighting, & sound.
These are the creative folks who help figure out how a show should look
(and sound). If you have background or interest in fashion, interior design,
architecture, engineering, construction, sound engineering, etc. you may
want to consider lending a hand.
• Set Construction & Painting – We always need help putting
up (and taking down!) sets. Sometimes this means getting out the power
tools, and sometimes we just need some good old-fashioned elbow grease.
And anyone can paint! We’ll hand you a brush and bucket and show you what
to do.
• Lighting and Sound assistants – maybe you’re not a
designer, but you have some experience with sound engineering or as an
electrician. Or maybe you like being the one to push all the buttons.
We’ve got plenty for you to do, too!
• Music Directors and Orchestra – Musicals mean, well,
music! We need someone to teach all those actors how to sing, and musicians
to play during shows.
• Choreographers – Someone has to teach the actors how
to dance!
• Stage Crew – It’s not just actors on stage every night.
We need people to work backstage on shows, helping move sets, props, and
sometimes actors.
