Join Us!

The cast you see singing on stage is just the tip of the iceberg. Our productions would not be possible without the dozens of behind-the-scenes volunteers who sew, paint, build and sell our show (and have a lot of fun doing it!).

The production "season" for H.M.S Pinafore has already begun and will end with our final performance the third weekend in March. Whether you have a lot of time to give, or just an hour or two a week, we’d be delighted to have you join us.

A few of our committees on which you could help are listed below. If you are interested in helping out on any of them, please email Elizabeth White for more information.

SET CONSTRUCTION: Builds the set, helps move it to Simsbury High School for performances, helps strike it after the end of the production. Heavy lifting not necessary, but you should be comfortable using a hammer and nail.

SET PAINTING: Paints the set as it is being built, puts finishing touches on it at Simsbury High School during the week prior to opening night. Not physically demanding.

MAKEUP & HAIR: Sets up makeup tables for cast for final dress rehearsal and performances, helps cast apply makeup correctly. Arranges purchase and rental of wigs if necessary. Relatively brief time commitment, only the first two weekends in March.

PROPS: Responsible for supplying anything the cast carries around with them as well as smaller parts of the set. Makes sure items are all present and accounted for during performances. No heavy lifting, but creativity and good organizational skills a plus.

PATRONS/BENEFACTORS: Keeps accurate records of the different levels of Patrons and their donations, mails their tickets (if the send a stamped, self-addressed envelope), and provides a list for the program.

SPONSORS: Helps contact corporations and business to become SLOCO sponsors. Need accurate record keeping.

HOSPITALITY: Plans Patron reception (after opening night), cast party (after last performance); welcome party (will be held at a private home in the fall).
