Matilda Cast Hub

Hello and welcome to the

Matilda Musical

Cast Hub!

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP

We welcome and encourage parent/guardian volunteers as an important component of our process. We believe that parents enhance the experiences of young actors. Your involvement helps us maintain a safe, secure, and nurturing environment for our performers, technicians, patrons, and staff.

We need volunteers for our tech week as well as for all performances!

We would love to offer you a free ticket as a trade for your time as a volunteer. They are good only for you and are NON-Transferable

If you sign up as an usher or concession assistant, we would like to offer you a free ticket for that performance.
If you sign up for backstage support, we would like to offer you a ticket to use for one of the other performances.

Our process has changed a little: All adults working within the arts center, age 18 years of age and older are required to pass criminal background checks to work in the arts center, including volunteer roles. This information is private and will be kept on file with our Human Resources Department.

Step 1: Please register HERE– you will be entered into the system.

Step 2: You will receive an email from our Volunteer Coordinator, Lisa, with the next steps, including filling out a Volunteer Background Check Form.

Step 3: Processing your background check will take 24-48 hours. Once processed, you will receive an email informing you that you are clear and in our “Active” volunteer pool.

Step 4: Once active, you will receive an email with volunteer opportunities and other information.

Questions? Please let me know, samaria@lawrenceartscenter.org or 785-843-2787 ext. 111.

Once you have registered, you can sign up for a time (or 2 or 5)
