Volunteers
We are always open to involving people in our summer musical production. We always need people to help with set building, painting, or working on costumes, etc. We consider it an educational experience as well. We often times do not know our exact needs until we are getting close to the production. For information on volunteering please contact Jeff Bargar at jeff@pinewoodbowl.org
