Volunteers are an essential component of each STAR Repertory Theatre production!!

 

A typical STAR Rep show includes a total of 2,500 + hours of volunteer time divided among the STAR Rep's production staff, crew, and families of all the cast members. It's a fun experience, and very rewarding!  So join in the FUN today!

 

What are the basic volunteer duties? 

​

Every family is invited to share in the supervision of children at the performance theater, move-in and strike of sets; and costume dressing of performers if needed.  Rehearsal supervision involves attending a rehearsal to oversee students to keep noise levels down, and ensure safety of students waiting for rides after rehearsals
