Fundraiser
York’s exciting Art Deco entertainment venue is moving into summer with an updated offer to customers, and along with this, there are lots of opportunities for new volunteers to join our community team.
On June 18th from 11am, the Joseph Rowntree Theatre is hosting a volunteers' welcome event.
With a very busy schedule of musicals, concerts, dance and tribute bands this means that lots of new volunteers will be needed to welcome audiences, sell refreshments and ensure the safety of our visitors.
Whatsmore, customers will now be able to socialise before shows and during intervals as the theatre is now fully licenced and will be selling a growing range of alcoholic and soft drinks, ice cream, sweets, and savoury snacks at shows over the summer months.
Chair of the Theatre’s Board, Dan Shrimpton, said “Our volunteers are what keeps this theatre running. Some volunteer front-of-house welcoming our customers, selling tickets and serving refreshments, others are backstage making sure the show runs like clockwork. We also have volunteers supporting marketing, fundraising and gardening. What unites us all is that we all do it for love and to keep providing entertainment to the citizens of and visitors to York.”
If you have some spare time and want to support your community, take a look at our volunteers page and find out what opportunities you can get involved in, and don't forget to pop the 18th June in your diary and head down to the theatre.
If you like meeting people and would enjoy being part of a great community of theatre lovers, our Volunteers’ Day on Saturday 18 June at 11 am at the theatre. No need to sign up. Just pop down and say hello and see what we are all about.
