Volunteer Benefits

Being a Cygnet Volunteer includes these special advantages:

Gain the satisfaction of representing award-winning Cygnet Theatre
Make new friends who share your interests and love of theatre
Learn more about the backstage world of theatre
See Cygnet productions or attend special events

Cygnet Swans

Cygnet Swans show the casts and crews how much we love them. Join the Swans for the fun of providing weekly snacks/treats that the actors/crew can enjoy in the greenroom before shows. Also help host a dinner for the cast and crew of each production.

Cygnet Ambassador

Cygnet participates in many local arts festivals and other outreach opportunities. Become an Ambassador and let everyone in the city know where we are and what we do. As an Ambassador, you will work closely with staff to help answer general questions, describe upcoming plays, and hand out materials.

Special Events Volunteer

With our annual Gala, OUT @ Cygnet nights, Special Forums and Donor Events, there’s always a party that needs your help. If you enjoy pouring drinks, welcoming and registering guests, creating perfect food table displays, or setting up and cleaning up, join us!

Administrative Volunteer

With all of our special events and donation appeals, there are plenty of mailings to be done. Our envelope stuffers/folders/stampers/sealers enjoy working with a group of other volunteers, making a big difference in our communications with our audience.

Costume Volunteer

The beautiful costumes begin in the minds of Cygnet’s incredible resident designers. The building of these costumes, as well as their maintenance, is often done by a talented group of sewers. If sewing skills and a love for theatre costumes are yours, join our Cygnet costume volunteers!

Volunteer Ushers

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer usher. At this time we are not looking for additional usher volunteers. Please check back in the future.

Travel with Cygnet

Each year, Cygnet takes a trip to see great Theatre. In years past, we’ve visited London, Paris, Edinburgh, New York, Washington D.C., Dublin, Stratford & Bath as part of the excursion. Our last trip included a transatlantic theatre tour from London to NYC.

Stay tuned for our next trip announcement and join Artistic Director Sean Murray and Executive Director Bill Schmidt on Cygnet Theatre’s next trip.
