Doing what we do involves lots of people doing lots of different things, and we’ve got opportunities galore for every interest! Besides performing onstage, working backstage, or ushering at our shows, we’ve got groups of people that help to plan and coordinate every aspect of what we do, and have a great time doing it! Whatever your interests, we’ve got a committee that could use your help:
