VOLUNTEER
WE ARE A PEOPLE-POWERED CIVIC THEATRE
THE GIFT OF TIME
Theatre isn’t just about acting, although it’s a critical part of what do. It’s more about teamwork. People coming together, offering the skills they have, acting or otherwise, to achieve a common goal.
The South Bend Civic Theatre welcomes actors and volunteers of all ages and skill sets. Everything we do is driven by people power, so there will always be a need for those willing to give of themselves to help ensure that the shows will, indeed, go on.
South Bend Civic Theatre counts on its volunteers to produce one of the most ambitious theatrical schedules in local community theatre and in the state. This is your chance to become involved with one of the premiere community theatres in the United States.
GET INVOLVED
Whether you like to be “in the spotlight,” or prefer to stay “behind the scenes,” South Bend Civic Theatre offers plenty of opportunities to volunteer in every aspect of theatrical production.
A new volunteer sign-up process is coming soon! In the meantime, please contact the box office at boxoffice@sbct.org to inquire about front of house volunteer opportunities like ushering and concessions.
To volunteer “behind the scenes” and help with set building, costume construction, backstage, etc., please send an email to sbctproductionmanager@sbct.org.
