Volunteer Shifts

Our team of volunteers come from all walks of life and have diverse schedules. We ask that you offer to volunteer a minimum of 2 performances per month, but many of our volunteers choose to do more than this. An average volunteer shift lasts just over 3 hours, depending on the length of the performance. We ask that you are on duty at least 45 minutes before the start of the performance (usually by 6.45pm for evening performances).
