"FRIENDS SPEND TIME WITH YOU, BUT TRUE FRIENDS PICK UP TINSEL WITH YOU"

Volunteer hours: Between 100 and 120 a season

​

Duties:

• Assist with rehearsals (be on book, manage props/ prop lists, take down blocking)

• work as stage crew or costume crew for at least one of our productions

• assist with set strike and show changeovers

Benefits:

• Gain first hand experience in a rehearsal process while working with some of our area's best actors and directors

• Workshops for apprentices in acting, technical theatre and marketing/the business of theatre

• Participate in the apprentice showcase performance

• Apprentice parties and social events

• Earn volunteer hours

•  Apprentices will also receive a free ticket to each production, pending seating availability.

Commitments:

• Apprenitces commit to serving on crew for at least one production each season. (Please note, apprentices will not be assigned to the crew of show in which they are performing.)

• Attend at least 12 of the pre-tech week rehearsals in addition to all of tech week and all of the performances for that specific production.

• Apprentices will also attend 5 strikes (one of which is the strike for your specific production).

• Apprentices will be assigned to strike shifts at the beginning of the season.

• All apprentices are also required to attend our end of year event on December 19 from 1-4pm.

Make up policy: These productions depend on our crew apprentices to run smoothly. Attendance is mandatory.

• Any absence must be cleared with the artistic director at least 5 hours in advance of the start of the shift.

• If an absence is excused (illness, death in the family,...), Apprentices may make up those hours by attending ushering shifts as determined by the artistic director.

• To make up a strike shift, Apprentices must swap a strike commitment with another crew apprentice, so that shift is covered.

• Unexcused absences, and those not cleared in advance, will result in an immediate dismissal from the apprentice program.

• Apprentices will not be able to participate in workshops or social events until all make up shifts have been completed.
