Sign up as a volunteer and receive some very special benefits!

Last year over 60 volunteers made our festival possible! We need your help even more this year!

With 18 events, we have lots of interesting and fun activities for volunteers. Be at our table at the Farmers Markets; drive visiting artists, help backstage, register workshop attendees, distribute posters, sell tickets, make a video; greet visitors, take photographs, and much more.

We are also looking for 2 or 3 nights of accommodation for our performing artists from out of town. If you can help with a spare room, please call us.

No matter if you are young, old, love theatre, or know nothing about it, your enthusiasm and talents will be welcomed! Email or phone us now at the number below.
