Volunteers who enjoy building and painting will enjoy the opportunity to construct sets.
The set crew assists the technical director in constructing and painting the set and large prop pieces. There are jobs for the skilled carpenter, but set and prop construction is also a great place to learn some basic carpentry skills. Training is provided to those without experience.
Basecoat paint and detail work is needed on each set. Accomplished artists are welcomed, however it is not necessary to have experience as an artist. Volunteers are trained on the detail set work. The variety in experience levels of painters provides a great opportunity to work together to learn new techniques and share ideas.
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, our 2020-21 Season has not yet been announced. Shows and dates, as well as any changes to volunteer practices, will be posted on our backstage volunteer page, https://www.dmplayhouse.com/volunteer/back-stage/
