Volunteers are essential to the Ivoryton Playhouse. Not only do they bring their creative energy and support to the theater, but they also provide an important link to communities throughout the Connecticut Shoreline area. Below is a sample of the rewarding opportunities available to our Volunteers.
Ushering
Through our ushering program, individuals are offered the opportunity to see Ivoryton productions for free. Usher duties include stuffing and handing out programs, taking tickets at the door and seating patrons.
Special Events
Throughout each season the Playhouse hosts and participates in a series of special events. These events may include opening night receptions and parties, Subscriber gatherings, benefits, festivals, and expositions. Volunteer activities include preparing and serving refreshments, greeting guests, passing out information to the public and much more. Individuals who enjoy working with the public are best suited for these positions. Events take place evenings and weekends.
Extra Hands
We can always use an extra pair of hands! The Playhouse box office, as well as the marketing, development, technical and business offices, always welcome extra help. Projects include assisting with general auditions, organizing mailings, hand addressing special invitations, entering data in the computers and various other office and back-stage activities. Individuals volunteering regularly in these departments develop friendships with theater staff and quickly become part of the Playhouse family. Projects take place weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings, as well as during actual performances.
