Volunteer Opportunities
ACT is a volunteer-driven theatre...Everyone is welcome.
Our ushers, set and costume builders, actors, singers, and box office helpers are all volunteers. Volunteers are encouraged to participate in every area of production. Basic instruction and guidance is offered to each individual. If you are enthusiastic about learning a new skill, we will teach you!
An orientation session will be held the second Tuesday of every month at Asheville Community Theatre. Those interested in volunteering in any area of the theatre should plan to attend an orientation. Please drop in and learn how to get involved.
