Volunteer at RPAC

Theatre Academy Volunteers

Each RPAC Theatre Academy family agrees to contribute 10 volunteer hours per semester.

This is 10 total hours per family, not 10 hours per student enrolled.
A family with three students participating in three different shows is still responsible for only 10 total hours.
Although 10 hours may sound like a lot at first, it is generally easy to complete when spread throughout the semester. Families may fulfill their hours by volunteering for their student’s Theatre Academy production or through any other RPAC volunteer opportunity. This flexibility allows families to select opportunities that work best with their schedules, interests, and abilities. Any friend or family member 16 years or older may volunteer. Volunteering for our MainStage shows, Concerts, Comedy shows, or other events is also a great opportunity to see these shows.
Theatre Academy production opportunities may include:
•Green-room supervision
•Backstage security
•Lunch or dinner cleanup during tech week and performances
•Cleaning green rooms and backstage restrooms
•Front-of-house assistance
•Snack bar, ushering, or ticket scanning
•Folding and stapling programs
•Stocking concessions and supplies
Please note: For student safety, backstage and green-room positions are limited to parents, legal guardians, and grandparents.


Additional opportunities may be available earlier in the semester, including hanging posters around town, selling program advertisements to local businesses, and assisting with costumes, sets, scenery, or props. Specific opportunities will be posted in your class’s BAND app.

Please note that Theatre Academy volunteers may not always be able to watch the performance from inside the theatre. A monitor will be available in the lobby, but volunteers may be asked to clean restrooms, stock the snack bar, pop popcorn, clean the lobby, or maintain overflow green-room and restroom areas during the performance.

If volunteering is not your thing please use this link to Buyout your volunteer hours.
Buyouts are $200 • Contact chris@reddingpac.com if you would like to request a hardship waiver.
