Volunteering

Volunteers are the heart of a community and they are the heartbeat of a community theatre.

GAFT is an all-volunteer community theatre, and is always looking for new people to help backstage, on stage and work behind the scenes. Everyone – actors, musicians, stage hands and front of the house volunteers – all go into making a GAFT show a reality!

Did you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes to get a show ready to go?

By the time one show finishes, another is already in the planning stages. You can be part of the magic as a set comes together and transforms from chaos to reality by being a set builder, a set dresser, or a set painter! Do you like to visit thrift shops? Then consider being a costumer. You say you’re not afraid of heights? Then maybe lighting is the place to be. OK – working on the stage is not for you? Well, are you people friendly? If so, consider being a ticket taker, house manager, or volunteer to sell ads. If yard sales are more up your alley, you can gather props. We have three major fund-raisers if you would like to help organize, run or volunteer your time. There’s always a need for a person with a special skill or talent.  In short, there is a place for everyone at GAFT!

Please supply your name, e-mail address & phone number on our contact page and we will add your name to our volunteer list.

The following are numerous volunteer areas of need, some right now, and others when we’re performing again:

• Set construction (drill screws, hold measuring tapes, create props, painting a wall, clean paint brushes, paint a stage, etc.)
• Set design
• Set dressing
• Sponsors (for a particular show, tickets, programs, a gold hole, a fundraiser, etc.)
• Usher
