Our volunteers are a critical part of our programs, and help us to extend our reach in the community, as well as magnify our impact.

Provide housing and hospitality for out-of-town performers, prepare food for Puppet Slams, assist teaching artists with materials prep for craft activities.

Spread the word about programming, distribute flyers for shows and upcoming events, answer questions at community event info tables, connect us with your child’s school for residencies or teaching opportunities.
