VOLUNTEER

Volunteer with us to help deliver high-quality arts programming to USAG Bavaria.
Check out what types of opportunities we have and how to sign up below.

Volunteer Opportunities

Acting
Our auditions are open to all!
Whether an experienced pro or have never done a play before,
if you've always been interested, come and audition!

Assistant Director
Work with the Director on the day-to-day operations of rehearsals,
keep lists of technical needs for the show, take down blocking
(Don’t know what that is? Don’t worry! We’ll teach you!).
This is a great way to learn what Directing is all about!

Stage Management
Have no interest in being Onstage, but you love the theater and have organizational skills?
Here’s the job for you! Organize rehearsals and backstage during the performance. Run the show!

Assistant Stage Management
Assist the Stage Manger by running one side of the Stage!
Great position to learn about and move into Stage Management.

Backstage Assistants
Work with the Stage Management team on moving scenery, organizing props, helping with quick-changes, and all the incredibly important jobs that keep a show running!

Lighting and Sound
Run the Light or Sound Board during Dress Rehearsals and Performances.
Knowledge of the technical equipment is helpful but can also be taught.

Costumes
Assist our talented Designers (and maybe even become a designer yourself!),
by helping to “build”, alter and maintain the costumes for a production.

Sets and Props (Design and Construction)
Have building and artsy skills? Here’s the job for you. Help build the scenery and assist our talented prop designers to create interesting and effective stage properties.

Bartending
Be one of our friendly bartenders! We serve beer, wine and soft drinks.
No need to learn complicated drink recipes!
Must be over 21!

Box Office 
Assist our staff in handling “reservations” and “walk-in” ticket sales.

Will Call
Help our patrons with Pre-Paid and Season ticket reservations.

Ushering 
Give the patrons programs and help them find seats.
A good job for our younger volunteers!

Get signed up!
