Volunteer
There’s a Place for You at The Pocket!
The Pocket Community Theatre depends on volunteers to bring the magic of live theatre to our community. Our volunteers bring unique gifts, abilities, interests, and experience to every part of the theatre. Whether you want to step into the spotlight, work behind the scenes, welcome our audiences, or help care for our theatre home, there are many ways to get involved.
No previous community theatre experience is required for many opportunities. Volunteers can choose areas that match their interests and availability, and appropriate orientation and training are provided.
