VCA Center for Dance is looking for volunteers — critical to the show’s success — who might like to help with its annual production of “The Nutcracker,” slated for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 8, 9 and 10.

The following are areas for volunteering:

Green Room Attendants: helping Ms. Zoe with the young dancers before and during the performances

Team Leads: organize a team of volunteers for one aspect of the production, such as:

Sets: getting sets to theater, placing flats before show, have a plan for set changes during show, repairs, storing sets after show

Props: getting props to theater, organizing prop room, have a plan for props needs during the show, repairs, storing props after the show

Floor Team: roll-out and tape-down our dance floor on the stage at the theater, and pull it up after the show

Set Construction: build, paint, repair, re-purpose set pieces

Ushers: greet audience members and assist them with seating

Stage Runners: lead groups of dancers to and from the stage

Costume Helper: assisting with ironing, mending, and helping dancers with costumes

Hair and Make Up artists

Will Call: help audience members with tickets purchased online

Prop Helper: make sure props are in place and in good condition for the show

Stage hand: help Ms. Crissy and Sets Lead with the curtain, set pieces and show equipment

Strike: after the show, taking EVERYTHING out of the theater and back to storage

Front of House: decorate the lobby, sell goodies and merchandise

Participating in our shows is a lot of fun. I hope you will consider performing or volunteering for The Nutcracker 2017. As an added incentive, I usually bring pizza, goodies from Snap Dragon and other delicious treats.
