DAVID CARMICHAEL (Officer) COME BE A PART OF THE MAGIC OF THEATRE!
Lee Street theatre has had the privilege of presenting powerful, thought-provoking and entertaining works for you. But this does not happen by magic.
“Theatre Magic” occurs when volunteers, like yourself, step up and take part in the creation of the magic. Whether it is ushering, bartending, helping to build and paint sets, lighting, sound, build and design costumes, create and gather props, direct, act, or just see a show, YOU help make it magical.
Continue the magic you see tonight by considering to volunteer with Lee Street theatre for one of the shows.
It takes a village...come be a part of ours!
For information on volunteering, please email Rod Oden at [email protected], or speak to someone in the lobby, and they will connect you with the right person.
