There's a place for you here.
Whether you have an afternoon or a year to give, we're so glad you're looking. Every single person who shows up makes what we do possible.
Open Shifts & Show Tasks
These are the hands-on, one-time (or once-per-show) ways to pitch in. Browse what's open and grab a slot β it's that easy. Tasks are organized by show and general theater needs.
Help us bring this moving, funny, and deeply human story to life. Front of house, backstage, event support β there's something for everyone.
A delightfully chaotic comedy that needs an equally wonderful crew. See what tasks are open and claim your spot in the madness.
Not show-specific, but just as essential. Office help, event support, outreach tasks, and more β a good list to bookmark and check back on.
Join a Team Behind the Scenes
These dedicated crews make every production happen. No theater experience needed β just a willingness to show up, learn, and get your hands a little dirty (sometimes literally).
Lighting, sound, and the technical magic that transforms a stage. Learn as you go β our tech leads love teaching curious people.
Join this team βBuild the world the actors live in. From framing walls to finish painting β if you like working with your hands, this crew is your home.
Join this team βJoin our team that will be called on when risers need to be moved, set up etc, throughout the season. Not obligated each time, but you'll be one of our "experts"
Join this team βThe warm welcome every audience member gets starts with you. Ushering, ticketing, concessions, and making people feel at home.

Things people ask us
Do I need theater experience?
Not at all. Most of our volunteers come from professional backgrounds β writing, design, tech, nonprofit work, construction β and bring skills that are just as essential as anything you'd learn backstage. If you're curious, capable, and kind, you belong here.
Are these roles paid?
These are unpaid volunteer positions. What you get in return is harder to put a price on β a front-row seat to the work, a community that genuinely values your time, and the knowledge that what you're doing matters to this town. AACT is a nonprofit that runs entirely on the generosity of people like you.
What does a 1β2 year commitment actually mean?
It means we're asking you to stay for the long haul β ideally through at least one full production season. We invest real time in getting you oriented and connected, and in return we ask for consistency. That said, we're humans first. Life happens and we'll always talk through it.
Can I do more than one role?
Yes β and some of our best volunteers do. We just ask that you're honest with yourself about capacity. A fully present one-role volunteer means more to us than a stretched-thin two-role one.
What happens after I fill out the interest form?
Someone from our team will reach out within a week to set up a short, informal conversation. No audition, no interview β just a chance to get to know each other and make sure it's a great fit on both sides.
I don't see anything that fits me right now. Can I still help?
Absolutely. Join our volunteer list above and tell us what you're good at. We'll find a place for you β whether it's one show or something we haven't even thought of yet.
Still not sure where you fit?
Just reach out. We'd genuinely love to hear from you β no commitment required, just a conversation.
