Volunteer
Lead by a small professional staff, 500 volunteers are needed throughout the year to assist with administrative, front of house, creative, and production tasks.
“We often say that the only skill a volunteer needs is the desire to learn! Even if you have little experience, are looking to create lifelong connections, or want to give back to your community, there is a place for you at the Racine Theatre Guild.”
– Doug Instenes, RTG Managing/Artistic Director

Positions are open to individuals 18 and older, except for certain shows that have roles for children open to ages 10 and above. While some positions have more physical than demands than others, we can work with you on training in many areas and find the right fit at RTG for you.
Most volunteer positions can fit with your schedule with daytime, weekend, and evening times available. However, many production aspects require more consistent and long-term commitments.
