Most of the time when we say Central Alberta Theatre requires volunteers, the response is, “But I don’t act!”. Central Alberta Theatre (CAT) operates the Memorial Centre as well as hosting amateur theatre productions, so we have many opportunities to volunteer that don’t include acting.

Our production crews for CAT shows are also volunteers. This can include designing, building and painting sets, designing posters and programs, finding or creating props, stage management, acting, directing, hair and make-up, costume design and construction, working as back stage crew, and much more. 

We provide training workshops from time-to-time in areas like lighting, sound, makeup, and more, depending on what our volunteer needs are at the time. We also try to pair experienced volunteers with inexperienced ones whenever possible. 

Volunteering as crew offers the opportunity to participate in live theatre - even if you are not an actor. For example, if you are pursuing a career in graphic design, then designing posters and programs for print can be used as a portfolio-building exercise. 

Volunteers on a production crew receive two tickets to the production for their own use. In the case of dinner theatre, these tickets also include the meal.
