Kelowna Actors Studio relies on the support and dedication of our 100+ volunteers who work tirelessly in front of house, set decor, props and more!
Join us for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Night in the fall, featuring wine, appies and performances by some of Actors Studio’s favourite personalities!
Back of House
The show cannot go on without the work of stagehands and crew "behind the curtain". Their tasks range from scenery moving and looking after props during a performance, assisting performers, and painting sets or props prior to the show opening. If you enjoy working behind the scenes and want to find out more about working in a stage production, then this is the crew for you.
Front of House
Members of this crew are people who like to work with the public. They can be found greeting theatre-goers at the entrance and as ushers in the front of the house, handing out programmes, clearing tables and helping people locate the correct seat.
