Titanic: The Musical (AMT, 9th - 12th grade) signup sheet

Thanks so much for your support of our Musical Theatre program at Edmonds Heights. It is only through the support of our parents and other volunteers that the magic happens! You are important!

Keep in mind that hours may be fulfilled by working ANY SHOW during the semester, not just the level in which your child is enrolled. All volunteer lists and descriptions can be found on the volunteer page of our website www.EHshows.com.

Chair Setup/Prep - set out the ticketing podium, set out chairs and seat labels, and put show name/time on welcome boards if needed. Meet in the auditorium. You may be asked to complete random tasks that haven’t been done yet, such as putting out tables for concessions, putting lights on the headshot boards, moving dividers for entry and displays, etc.

Rehearsal / Extra Support: Please arrive at the time indicated on the Volunteer Signup list and check in with the director/instructor to find out how to best support them for that rehearsal.

Green Room Team - Please arrive at the time indicated on the Volunteer Signup list. Check in at the Box Office with the House Manager in the lobby to get your badge. Depending on the number of volunteers, Green Room Parents will be placed at assigned stations. For the safety and comfort of everyone, parents will not be left alone in the dressing rooms. Please see the Volunteer Descriptions page at www.EHshows.com for more details. Introduce yourself to the stage manager. Ensure actors follow the stage manager’s directions. The stage manager and backstage crew can answer questions. Please assist them by helping the kids stay safe and quiet and reinforcing the posted Code of Conduct.
