Who can volunteer?

Friends of the Theatre welcomes people from many walks of life. Volunteering at Pilbeam Theatre is a flexible, social and rewarding way to contribute to the region’s cultural life while gaining new experiences, building confidence and helping audiences enjoy live performance.

No theatre experience is necessary. Volunteers receive guidance and support, and each role helps create a positive audience experience, from the first welcome at the door to the final applause.
