Weekly Pre-Show Parent Volunteering
Overview & Instructions
Building and Painting Sets
Imagine the look on your child’s face when the set is revealed to them on the night of the first dress rehearsal. The cheers from the children make every minute of construction and painting worthwhile. Even better, use the time to meet new parent friends and escape to learn or hone new construction and painting skills. Volunteer for as many or as few weeks as you can. A CORI/SORI will be needed.
What to expect each week:
If you volunteer for sets, please arrive at 9am at Cole center on Saturdays and let a board member know you are there for sets and they will show you the way to the back. Please wear old clothes that can get paint on them (Warm ones in the Winter!). Tools and supplies are provided. Please don’t feel intimidated, we could use help of all kinds and skill levels.
