Volunteering

We generally fulfill our volunteering needs at the beginning of each season with an annual event where volunteers sign up for shows that they can work or indicate other tasks they are happy to help White Bird with.

If you would like to be added to our volunteer list and receive an invitation to our volunteer party in the fall of 2012, please email Chelsea Bushnell (chelsea [at] whitebird [dot] org) and include your full name, email and phone number.

Please note that the only performances for which we need usher volunteers are those in the Uncaged Series.  (The  uses their own volunteers for performances at the Newmark and Schnitzer).  At other times during the season, we need volunteers to help with loading out after shows, mailings and staffing special events.
