Help prepare The Actors Theatre Workshop (ATW) for our Spring 2024 Children’s Theatre Performance Event. Prepare the facility for the celebratory performance and student graduation of the Builders of the New World (BNW) program – ATW's award-winning after-school theater-arts education program, which has been serving homeless and at-risk youth living in NYC's temporary housing facilities since 1995.
When:
Monday, June 17th from 12:00pm-5:00pm
Monday, June 17th from 5:00pm-9:00pm
Wednesday, June 19th from 12:00pm-5:00pm
Wednesday, June 19th from 5:00pm-9:00pm
Thursday, June 20th from 11am-4pm
What you will do:
- Mount and Hang children’s artwork and stories. Finalize, print and fold event programs.
- Set up our 5,000 square foot theater facility for the event before children’s arrival.
- Beautify the space: do light repairs and light cleaning - sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning windows and other surfaces.
- For volunteers comfortable using tools: small repairs include tightening screws, using a hammer and nails or a staple gun to fasten items.
- Organizing on-site equipment and supplies to create space for storing supplies and donations. This would include lifting and moving boxes and furniture.
- Purchasing supplies, if we run out, or picking up purchased or donated supplies. (ATW will provide funds for this.)
Other important info:
- The day’s events will be videotaped & photographed for our program documentation and communication purposes. Volunteers must be comfortable with this. We will distribute Video Releases to each volunteer when they arrive to review and sign.
- Participants must dress comfortably: sneakers / flat shoes and clothes they can move around in.
- Participants who sign-up should arrive PROMPTLY and stay for the whole event. If a volunteer knows in advance that they cannot come or cannot stay for the whole event, we'd appreciate that they release their spot as soon as they know to allow someone who can stay for the whole event the opportunity to sign-up.
