Rome Shakespeare Festival

VOLUNTEERS:

As we are fast approaching our opening night of Midsummer, we've come across the need for some extra hands.

We are looking for a few volunteers to help backstage during the run of the show - basically an extra few pairs of hands to make sure everything runs smoothly.

No experience necessary - we could use experienced theater folks, students needing some experience/credits, or simply fun happy people who will enjoy being part of this production.

Please send a message to us if interested and we will send contact information!
