Call for Volunteers – Summer Show!
Greetings friends!
Our summer show, “The Pedaler’s Wager”, is a few weeks away from opening and so we’re sending out the word to our friends and neighbours. It’s going to be an exciting four week run and we’d like to invite you to be a part of it by helping us make it a success.
We’ve got volunteer opportunities coming up during the run of the show at Dufferin Grove Park. We’re presently looking for the ever important FOH volunteers as well as parade coordinators to help guide our audience members between acts during our mobile matinees.
If you have two hours to spare, we’d love to have you spend it with us!
Schedule
- Audience Relations & Publicity Assistants: July 20 – August 14: Wednesday – Sunday at 7pm - and – Friday – Sunday at 2pm. Volunteers who generally act as front of house – welcoming and inviting passersby and audience members. You’ll learn about the show and the theatre company and be at our FOH table. Other responsibilities include set-up and take down of FOH table, handing out programs, collecting donations, etc…
- Parade Co-ordination Animators: July 23 – August 14: Mobile Matinees on Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm. Volunteers during our mobile matinees who act as Parade Co-ordination Animators will help guide our audience members between acts. The show will begin in Dufferin Grove Park and then travel to Fred Hamilton Park and finally finishing at Trinity Bellwood’s. It’s a great opportunity to bring your bike!
Rehearsals as well as our performances happen at Dufferin Grove Park near the Field house, that’s the small brick building adjacent to the soccer field
