Backstage
Huge backstage teams help to bring our productions to life. We like to call them our “backstage heroes”. We rely upon these heroes for props, costumes, make-up, set design, building, painting, sound and lighting.
Front of House
If you fancy getting involved, but would rather stay away from the stage, then why not volunteer to help with front of house, the box office, the bar or coffee bar? Like a well-oiled machine, these customer-facing teams ensure that our audiences have a fantastic experience. However, you would like to get involved everyone is welcome!
