We need you! It truly takes a village and we need lots of helping hands during (and sometimes before!) our performance weekends. Please check out our volunteer openings for the concessions and merch tables or consider stepping in for the Green Room or other tasks. Our cast and crew members work for weeks to bring these productions to the stage, and your assistance plays an important part in the overall success of the show! You don't have to have a child in the show—grandparents, neighbors, AECT alumni, and community members are welcome!
