Volunteers
We are always open to involving more people in the Summer musical production.
We usually have 50+ actors on stage, but have grown to 100+ actors for
Wizard of Oz. This requires a considerable backstage support
staff. If you are interested in any aspects from costumes, to set, to
crew; do contact one of the producers. We do teach the ins and outs of
outdoor theatre and we have a lot of fun in the process. For many families,
it has become an annual tradition. Current stage experience is not required.
