WILTON — On Saturday, March 9, Home Made Theater will hold an open house for both potential and existing volunteers. The open house will be held from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at HMT’s Wilton Mall headquarters, which is located in the wing nearest the Saratoga Hospital offices.
Most of the work of producing live theater at Home Made Theater is done by volunteers who work in almost every aspect of production and work side by side with theater professionals. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn.
Areas of volunteerism one may learn about include “Front of House” (interacting directly with patrons in positions like ushering), “Behind the Scenes” (backstage work such as running crew, lighting assistant, costumes assistant, props assistant, scenic assistant, and stage management, to name a few), and “Administrative” (box office, mailing assistant, and general office work).
Attendees at the open house will have the opportunity to mix with members of the staff, Board of Directors, and veteran volunteers to learn more about the ins and outs of volunteering at Home Made Theater.
