Behind every performance at Toad’s Little Theatre, there’s a team of people working tirelessly—not for applause or recognition, but for the love of theatre itself. These are our volunteers: the ushers who greet you at the door, the hands that build sets late into the night, the costume stitchers, the box office helpers, and the countless others who make each show possible.
The Heart of Small Theatres
Unlike large commercial theatres, small venues like ours rely on volunteers to keep things running smoothly. From managing lights to sweeping the stage, their contributions are what make our productions shine. Without them, the curtain simply couldn’t rise.
A Place for Everyone
One of the most beautiful aspects of volunteering at Toad’s Little Theatre is the variety of people who get involved. High school students earning community service hours work alongside retirees eager to stay connected. Parents lend a hand so their children can be part of youth productions. Artists, carpenters, teachers, and theatre enthusiasts all bring their unique talents into the fold.
More Than Just Helping Out
Volunteering isn’t only about giving time—it’s about becoming part of something bigger. Many of our volunteers talk about the friendships they’ve built, the confidence they’ve gained, and the pride they feel when the audience applauds at the end of a show. It’s a reminder that theatre is a collective art form, created not by one star, but by a community of people working together.
Why They Matter
Our volunteers keep ticket prices affordable, help us stage ambitious productions, and ensure that every guest has a welcoming experience. They are the unsung heroes whose dedication makes theatre accessible to everyone in our community.
How to Get Involved
We’re always looking for new faces to join the team. Whether you have experience in carpentry, love greeting people, or just want to try something new, there’s a role for you here. And don’t worry—you don’t need theatre experience. All you need is enthusiasm, reliability, and a love of community.
At Toad’s Little Theatre, we believe volunteers aren’t just helping out—they’re shaping the future of the arts in our town. So next time you attend a show, take a moment to thank the smiling usher, the person running the sound booth, or the hand that built the set. They’re the reason the magic happens.
