Pewter Plough Volunteers Needed

The Playhouse has openings for volunteers to carry out its ambitious schedule of plays, now starting its 34th season here in Cambria.

Become a Pewter Plough Volunteer and get involved in the fun and excitement of live theatre, meet new people and participate in making shows happen at the PPP!

As a volunteer, nonprofit community theatre group, the success of our productions is largely dependent on the many theatre-loving people who volunteer their time and efforts as part of an active and vital group: the Pewter Plough Playhouse Volunteers.

A Handful of Our Volunteers
Row 1, l-r: Diane Brooke, Jim Buckley, Becky Buckley, Sharon Woodside-Hanish. Row 2: James Lee Buckley, Annette Bouyer, Nehemiah Persoff, Rick Auricchio, Jim Ragan. Row 3: Bambi Johnson, Art Van Ryhn, Pat Van Rhyn, Anita Schwaber.

We have many opportunities for additional people to get involved and join in the fun, including the following:

• Box Office Associates — Our Box Office volunteers open the box office on weekend afternoons, converse with the public about the PPP and our shows, sell tickets, handle reservations, answer our ticket line and other related activities. Box Office volunteers are very important to us: they represent the Playhouse to potential playgoers.
• Set building — Our stage crew is involved in set building, set dressing, prop handling, set painting and all aspects of preparing a stage set.
• Light and Sound Tech — Handles light and sound design, set up and/or operation during shows.
