Phamaly Theatre Company is now accepting applications for backstage volunteer positions for
Alice in Wonderland!
Please read the information listed below. The Alice in Wonderland Volunteer Application can be reached using the button on the bottom of the page. Phamaly is updating its volunteer system so you may notice some changes from past shows. We hope you are excited as we are to build the team that will be working with our actors to make theatre magic.
Volunteer applications are new for Phamaly and different that the general volunteer form. The general volunteer form is longer and acts as a way for us to get to know you when you join our volunteer base. Volunteer applications are show specific. You must fill out a volunteer application form to be considered for backstage positions for Alice in Wonderland.
Backstage volunteer positions require lots of time and dedication. To be considered, volunteers must be available for the entirety of tech week AND a minimum of 8 show shifts. If you cannot commit to a minimum of 8 show shifts please consider applying for our usher volunteer positions (applications available soon). Anyone 18 and older is welcome to apply for backstage volunteer positions; however, space is limited. We do encourage that if you are not selected to volunteer backstage for this production, please apply for future productions. Please read the information below carefully. Applications are due no later than March 31, 2020 at 8:00pm MST. Thank you!
What is the volunteer program
Like all theatre companies, here at Phamaly it takes a village to make a show a success. We are very fortunate to have a team of dedicated volunteers ready to help the production rise to its fullest potential by providing accommodations for performers. Volunteers consist of passionate individuals who fill several backstage positions such as stage hands, wardrobe team, Volunteer Partners, and more! For this production volunteers will work in conjunction with DCPA union technicians and the stage management team.
What kind of backstage volunteer positions are available
Dressing room assistance: A few volunteers will be stationed in the dressing room before and after the show. They are available to help actors get into hair, makeup, mic, and costume (changes during the show are mostly handles by the wardrobe team).
Backstage Assistance: Volunteers will be stationed backstage to help with activities such as prop hand-offs, guiding actors to entrances, and other occasional backstage assistance.
Volunteer Partners: Volunteers are available for one-on-one partnerships with actors. A Volunteer Partner will be assigned to an actor, assisting them throughout the show. They can perform disability specific assistance catered to the individual they are working with.
Miscellaneous: Other volunteers will be assisting with various productions needs such as concessions, ushering, and moral support.
