How to Become a Volunteer...
Yes! The Arts Club Theatre Company is always looking for friendly, out-going and reliable volunteers to help out in a variety of ways such as staff support at special events and fundraisers, office administration and many other unique projects throughout the community.
As a not for profit charity, the Arts Club Theatre Company is grateful to its volunteers for all their time and commitment.
