Volunteer Opportunities

Summer Place Theatre offers both one-time volunteer opportunities and ongoing ways to support our productions and organization.

Volunteer at a Performance

Performance volunteers help us provide a welcoming experience for our audiences. These roles are flexible and generally require only one performance commitment.

Usher
Greet patrons, check tickets, distribute programs, provide directions, and assist the House Manager as needed. Ushers may watch the performance once the audience is seated.

Concessions
Help sell refreshments before the performance and during intermission, process payments, restock items, and keep the concession area organized.

Box Office Support
Assist with patron check-in, ticket questions, walk-up sales, and other front-of-house needs under the direction of the Box Office Manager.

Lobby and Hospitality Support
Help prepare lobby displays, signage, refreshments, opening-night receptions, or other activities that create a welcoming experience for patrons.

Help Behind the Scenes

Productions may also need volunteers for:

Set construction and painting
Load-in, set strike, and load-out
Props and costume organization
Backstage and technical support
Storage organization
Photography, video, and promotional projects

Some behind-the-scenes roles require only a few hours, while others may require availability during rehearsals, tech week, or performances.

Share Your Skills Throughout the Year

Summer Place also welcomes volunteers interested in marketing, graphic design, community outreach, fundraising, grant research, special events, website updates, and other organizational projects.

These ongoing and project-based opportunities are coordinated through Friends of Summer Place.
