Volunteering

Below are descriptions of roles typically needed for each production.

​

Tickets

Arrive 1 hour before show time for set-up of the ticket table. Help sell tickets and manage will-call tickets purchased online. Help put away ticket supplies once sales are over. Generally, you will be able to see all but the very beginning of the show.

 

Ushers

Arrive 1 hour before the show. You will direct audience members to the auditorium and hand out programs. You will assist patrons who have special seating needs (ADA, etc.). If you stay and watch the show, you are asked to help move people back into the theatre at the end of intermission. After the performance ends, please collect programs at the door to be reused for the next performance.

​

StarGrams/Flowers

Sell StarGrams and Flowers before the start of the show and during intermission. After intermission, volunteers pack up all materials and stow away.

 

Concessions

You will sell concessions (snacks and water) before the show starting and during intermission. After intermission, volunteers pack up all concessions and stow away.

 

Posters

Volunteers deliver show posters to specific locations in assigned areas before the show. Bring your own masking or scotch tape, and push pins. Painter's tape works well.

​

You will be given a list of businesses that have accepted posters in the past. If you find a new place that will let you hang the poster, please make a note of this so we can add that location to the area list.  Also make notes of any special delivery information (e.g. “only open on weekdays from 7 am to 3 pm”,  “best to deliver on Saturday when someone is around”, or “put on columns in the entryway”, etc.)

Some places will want to hang the poster(s) themselves and this is okay. Try to hang posters in high-traffic areas. In schools, we want posters in the hallways or on windows by the front door - not in the teacher’s lounge.

​

Show posters help JTC inform our community about our upcoming productions!

Friends of JTC Table

Before the start of the show and during intermission, staff the Friends of JTC table in the lobby. After intermission, volunteers will pack up all items and stow away. You will share information with patrons about JTC and donation opportunities.

​

Serve on the JTC Board/Grant Writing
 

We need your talents and expertise! Volunteer to serve on the JTC board. Do you have experience or interest in helping to write grants on behalf of JTC? Contact us for more information.

​

Help Back Stage with Hair and Makeup and Costume Changes

 

Arrive at cast call and help actors with their hair and makeup. No exceptional talent required—the kids generally know how to do this but might need a little assistance. You may also be needed to assist with quick changes during the performance.

 

Email president@jeffersontheatrecompany.org for more information. A Sign-Up Genius form will be sent for each production.
