You Can Help

We will need many extra helpers (two per performance) to assist with welcoming the groups as they arrive, showing them to their performance space, and introducing them at the performance. We expect approximately 300 children for these performances.

In addition, we will also be acting as stage managers for all the children's groups which are involved in the opening session, totaling approximately 200 children on Thursday, November 15th, from 9:30-11:00 AM. We will need everyone's help (and then some!) at opening session.

It's truly a thrill to help these children put on a performance which will leave them with a joyful memory for the rest of their lives!
