Volunteer Sign-ups
Because ORCBA does not have paid employees outside of our Artistic Staff,
we rely on our families to volunteer in a variety of roles.
There are jobs and projects needed in both the weeks leading up to the performances, as well as during the production itself. Many of our pre-production tasks can be completed at home. Please review the lists below, and select a Pre-Performance and a Production opportunity.
(Please note parents of our younger dancers are required to chaperone, and this will be your primary responsibility during the week of the performances and rehearsals at the theater.
