Volunteer

Step into the Spotlight

Every show at Coal Creek Theater happens because of volunteers. Our community steps up to build sets, run lights, usher audiences, and yes—perform on stage. Whether you've got theater experience or you're just curious, there's a place for you here.

How to Get involved

We need help with everything from ushering and load-ins to set construction and backstage support. Pick what sounds interesting, show up when you can, and as a thank-you, you'll get free tickets to our shows.

Minors are welcome to volunteer with a parent or guardian. If you have questions, reach out to our Volunteer Chairperson.
