Our shows would not be possible without our volunteers! We are always looking for people who are eager and ready to jump in and have fun. It takes 50 - 60 volunteers to make our season a success. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, all age groups, and all levels of experience. We have teenagers, retirees and everyone in between. Best of all, no experience is required to volunteer - just plenty of enthusiasm! To make your life easier, Theatre by the Bay manages all of its volunteer shifts through Tandempark.
