Get Involved

For those of you interested in volunteering behind the scenes of The Secret Garden, we have many opportunities for you to get involved! Here are a few suggestions to consider:

Join the production as a crew member!

We're looking for talented and dedicated individuals who have experience (or are quick to learn) the following crew positions:  lighting designer, spotlight operator, sound designer, prop master, curtain operator, set builders and painters, seamstresses and costume assistants, hair and make-up stylists, and various stage crew. Some of these roles require you to lend your time for only a day or two, while other duties necessitate that you're available for those final weeks of rehearsal and performances. If you'd like more information and/or would like to volunteer for one or more of these duties, please e-mail the director at katiewojtalewicz@gmail.com with your contact info and a description of what you could bring to the position as a member of the crew. 

Offer your crafting skills as a paper flower maker!

One of the more challenging aspects of our production involves creating a garden of paper flowers. After weighing several options, we have decided to cultivate our garden using a variety of templates constructed mostly of materials like tissue and construction paper, floral tape, and wire. Though we intend to select from existing patterns that are user-friendly, preparing the sheer number of flowers required to fill our onstage garden will take a great deal of time. The more detail-oriented, glue gun-savvy "gardeners" we have, the better, as this will allow us to create a set worthy of its namesake. If you are interested in volunteering your talents, please e-mail the director at katiewojtalewicz@gmail.com for more information.

Check out our production wish list page!

On this page, we'll be listing various props, costumes, set pieces, and supplies needed for our production.  Should you be willing to lend or donate something on this list that we might be able to use in The Secret Garden, this could help free up money in our budget to be used elsewhere in the production.  Please e-mail the director at katiewojtalewicz@gmail.com if you have something on the list that you'd like to lend or donate.
