Volunteering

All parents are expected to help with the production. Our theater program cannot happen without the volunteers to assist with costumes, hair/makeup, props, set design, tickets, publicity, concessions, and chaperoning rehearsals.

Chaperoning Rehearsals

Each Little Theater family will need to chaperone at least one rehearsal. Little Theater is a PTSA sponsored program therefore all parent chaperones must be PTSA members and LWSD approved volunteers.
