Volunteers
The Civic is a "community theatre", which means that all of the actors, running crews, and ushers needed to present a production are members of the community who volunteer their time. Volunteering at the Civic is fun, and a terrific way to serve the community.
Utilizing the talents of 1,000 volunteers each season, we provide a variety of opportunities for involvement. Volunteers can spend an occasional evening ushering (and seeing the performance for free), or they can work backstage running sound, lights, or properties. And don't forget, all of our actors are volunteers.
We are always looking for newcomers, to work onstage, behind the scenes or front of house. We encourage everyone to become as involved as their schedule permits.
