HELP SUPPORT THE ARTS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT BAY STREET THEATRE
Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor is busily working on preparing their Mainstage Season along with many other projects. Reliable volunteers are needed to help out to usher, assist in special events, or work in the office or marketing outreach.
Says Executive Director Tracy Mitchell, “So many people say to me, I don’t have money to help—well you don’t need it! All you need is to have time and enjoy working in a fun environment. If you’ve got that, I’m sure we’ve got a task you’ll enjoy doing—from ushering at shows, to daytime work with phone calling or putting up posters---there’s lots to get done.”
"If you love and appreciate great theatre, become a Bay Street volunteer,” says Barbara Oldak, Volunteer Coordinator. “It is a wonderful way to support the arts in this community."
Please email Barbara Oldak, Volunteer Coordinator, at Barbara@baystreet.org if you are interested in volunteering
and she’ll find a job that’s fun for you!
