Volunteering Theatrically
If you're looking to get your foot on the first rung of the ladder, or you just have a general interest in theatre, volunteering is a great way to get experience in a professional theatre environment, meet and work with people already in the industry, and to see shows for free!
Volunteering Theatrically is OPEN for applications. The application periods for 09/10 are:
 AUTUMN SEASON (starting Sept. '09)
Application period: 21st Aug '09 - 30th Sept '09
