Volunteering at The Colony
The Colony Associates are
volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life who help us run the
theatre
and produce our shows. You can tell us all about yourself and tells us
your interest with our on-line volunteer sign-up form, or you contact our
volunteer coordinator directly by calling 818-558-7000, ext 547. We
always need at least six ushers
for every show, so sign up today! But there are lots of other opportunities including: house managing, ushering, running lights, running sound, running props, building sets, painting sets, hanging lights, sewing costumes, stuffing envelopes, etc., etc., etc. (If you have a skill, there is some way to use it at The Colony - and to have fun doing it!). We included some descriptions below. Our volunteers are very much part of
our family, and we couldn't survive without them. No experience is
necessary
- just a desire to be part of the theatre and a willingness for some
hard
work and a passion for the theatre! Young people are especially
welcome, as long as they have transportation to and from the theatre.
Your
school may give you some sort of credit for the time you spend helping
out at the theatre. (A number of our Associates have gone on to careers
in professional theatre - directly as a result of their experience at
The
Colony.) Typical Volunteer Work (but there's always more than we can think of!):Volunteers (high school and up, please) make up the core of our Ushering Team at The Colony. Upon arrival, they are given an introduction and brief training session by the House Manager in charge. Ushers are always invited to watch the show. While we can't guarantee seats, ushers are welcome to sit in any seats approved by the House Manager. In the event of a sell-out, there is standing room behind the center section (with a ledge to lean on!) The Colony has performances on Thursdays & Fridays at 8PM, Saturdays at 3PM & 8PM, and Sundays at 2PM & 7PM. During a show's run, there are 5 performances each week, and the actual performance schedule varies from week to week depending on where we are in the overall run of the production. For each production, we also do three preview performances on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8PM the week we open. Our entire season play dates are listed here.
