How to Get Involved
Our middle name is “community” which means that 95% of the theatre’s work is done by
volunteers. Does theatre seem to you to be all about acting? Think again! There are all sorts of
skills to be used and jobs to be done in order to support the work of our theatre. Do you
like to paint? Do you like to build things? Do you play a musical instrument? Do you
enjoy doing makeup? Do you sew? If so, and you have a little spare time, there is
most likely an opportunity at RCT for you to contribute your talents. Would you
like to learn a new skill, perhaps working with theatre lights, sound, props, or
costumes? We are always happy to introduce folk to the intricacies of the
technical side of producing our shows. In any given season there are people
operating the boards, working backstage, or in the dressing rooms who were newcomers only a
few months previous. Even our most experienced people are always learning something new.
Now perhaps your real forte is acting or you have always wanted to try your
hand at drama. In such cases, please be aware that open auditions are held
for every show and it is a rare production that does not have a newcomer or
two in the cast. In other words, there is a very good chance that if you are
willing to audition, you may end up on stage – particularly if you are flexible in
the roles you will accept!
Finally, there are jobs to be done in “front of house” like ushering, tending the box
office, working intermission concessions, etc., as well as the occasional week day
need for office help or costume shop assistance. In short, if being part of one of our
state’s best community theatre’s appeals to you, we most likely can find a place for
you. Here are some of the ways that you can get involved:
- Call the theatre (962-8011) during business hours and make your interests known.
- Drop by the theatre (East Main St at 10th) during business hours.
- Fill out the Volunteer form and bring or mail it to Richmond Civic Theatre,
1003 E. Main St., Richmond, IN 47374.
- Ask to be on our richmondcivitheatre.org e-mailing list to stay abreast of audition notices and
other volunteer needs at the theatre.
We cordially invite you to come and join the fun that is The Richmond Civic Theatre!
