Join the Crew

Volunteers are the heart of the theatre

Behind every film, every concert, and every night the marquee lights up, there’s a crew of neighbors giving their time. Volunteers welcome the audience, pour the popcorn, run the projector, tend the Wurlitzer, and keep this century-old building in good repair. Whatever time you can give, there’s good company waiting when you arrive.
