VOLUNTEERS

First and foremost, I would like to thank you in advance for volunteering your time and energy to be a part of our amazing theatre community. The Lawrence Arts Center welcomes and encourages parent/guardian volunteers as an important component of our process. We believe that parents enhance the experiences for young actors. Your involvement helps us to maintain a safe, secure, and nurturing environment for all of our performers, technicians, patrons, and staff.

We will need help with costume construction, backstage during tech rehearsals and performances, as well as front of house help during performances in the form of ushers and concession support.
