Volunteer
Central to the Aiken Community Theatre’s (ACT) success through the years are the many volunteers who help make it all happen! Just about everywhere you look at the ACT you will find volunteers: actors, singers and dancers, technicians and carpenters, costume sewers, stage crew, ushers and coat check attendants — and they are all volunteers. In fact, the ACT has a network of over 200 volunteers who donate countless hours of time each year to bring our stage and theatre to life.
With seven main stage productions this season, several Bechtel Theatre events, Coffee House Productions, workshops and our Youth Wing Program, we’ve got room for anyone who wants to be a part of our team!
On Stage
Performers – Anyone who ever wanted to perform, from the novice to the most seasoned performer, is welcome to audition for our productions. Watch our website for upcoming audition information to learn more about how to prepare for an audition and what to expect. Some auditions require advance registration.
Technical
-
Set Design/Construction/Painting – Volunteers help build, repair, paint and tear down sets. It is helpful for volunteers in this area to have some construction or painting background. (but not required) Daytime and night hours are available.
-
Lighting/Sound – Training will be provided. We need people who are available throughout the entire run of a show. Some jobs can be shared with another person, and some require that you are there every performance and throughout tech week prior to the show opening. This is a job that requires a strong commitment, and the ability to follow a script.
-
Props – This position is part of the stage crew. Properties are all of the set dressings and small articles used in a production. Time commitment is the full run of the show plus tech week and some rehearsals.
-
Costumes – Volunteers are instrumental in sewing costumes as well as putting finishing touches on projects. Time requirements vary with each show, but hours are flexible with your schedule.
-
Stage Management/Stagehands/Running Crew – Each show requires many people working backstage to make everything on stage happen. From cleaning before a performance, to preparing the set, coordinating special effects and moving set pieces for each scene change, there’s a lot happening backstage. The time commitment is the full run of the show plus tech week. Volunteers can work every night of a production or trade shifts with another volunteer. This requires a highly responsible person.
Other Areas
- Theatre/Arts/Music/Dance Educators – You have the extra time or retired and want to give forward the skills and talents you have acquired throughout the years, this is a super area to get involved.
-
Stage Managers and Assistant Directors – This is a great opportunity to work closely with the Director of a show. You must be available to come to all rehearsals. Stage Managers watch the script and blocking and take notes for the Director. Assistant Directors works with the Director and must to have previous acting or directing experience.
