Volunteer

Muskegon Civic Theatre would not be able to produce entertaining and engaging shows without volunteer help. If you’re looking for a way to get involved in our community, check out all the ways you can volunteer with us.

On Stage

Actors – From the novice, the new to our stage, or the most seasoned actor, all are welcome to audition.

Behind the Scenes

Volunteers will be working under the guidance and direction of artistic staff.

Technical Support

Set Construction/Painting

Volunteers help build, repair, paint, and tear down sets. Daytime and night hours are available.

Lighting/Sound

We need people who are available throughout the entire run of a show. Some jobs can be shared with another person, and some require that you are there every performance and throughout tech week prior to the show opening. This is a job that requires a strong commitment, and the ability to follow a script.

Props

This position is part of the stage crew. Properties are all of the set dressings and small articles used in a production. Time commitment is the full run of the show plus tech week and some rehearsals.

Costumes

Volunteers are instrumental in sewing costumes, as well as putting finishing touches on projects. Time requirements vary with each show, but hours are flexible with personal schedules.

Stagehands/Running Crew

Each show requires people working back stage to make things happen correctly on stage. Responsibilities range from cleaning before a performance, preparing the set, coordinating special effects, Fly operation, and moving set pieces.

Other Volunteer Opportunities

Business Office

Volunteers are often needed to assist in data entry, filing and general office work. Times and commitment lengths vary, but daytime hours only.

Hospitality

Volunteers are regularly needed to assist with special events, such as Back Stage Passes, cast parties and technical lunches.

Stage Managers and Assistant Directors

This is a great opportunity to work closely with the Director of a show. Attendance at all rehearsals is required. Previous acting or directing experience is a plus.
