You can be part of the magic as one of our beautiful sets comes together and transforms from chaos to reality by being a set builder, a set dresser, or a set painter!  Being a helper to one of these folks is a great way to learn how it's done and we'd love to teach you if you're interested. You say you're not afraid of heights? Then maybe lighting is the place to be.  OK — working on the stage is not for you?  Well, are you people friendly?  If so, consider being an usher or volunteer to sell ads.  If yard sales are more up your alley, you can gather props. There's always a need for a handyman to help with maintenance. In short, there is a place for everyone at CCCT!
