Board Member:
RAT
Board
Members are a fun and lively group coming from all walks of life.
They meet monthly and are the impetus in promoting the
theatre
arts in our area. Board committees include: RAT Rentals,
website,
grants/funding, costumes, and others. The board also decides
which shows to produce each year.
|
Lighting/Sound:
The
Performing Arts Center at the Redwood Valley High School has state of
the art sound and lighting equipment. If you have knowledge
of
this area or are interested in learning, please contact a RAT board
member.
|
Set
Painting:
Whether
or not you have a creative or artistic flair, there is a job you can do
in set painting. Late June and all of July are the times you
are
needed most in this area.
|
Set
Movers:
Both
during the show and during the 2 weeks leading up to it, people are
needed to move the sets on and off stage, run curtains, etc.
The
stage manager choreographs this process, but it requires many hands to
get the job done. |
Ushers:
Six
to ten ushers are needed each night of a performance. No
prior experience is necessary! |
|
Set Construction:
If
you
have any talent in the area of construction you could be of assistance
by helping create the fabulous sets for which we are known.
May,
June, and July are the months during which the float sets are built.
Any level of help is appreciated. |
Costumes:
Costuming
always seems to generate our largest group of volunteers.
Seamstresses are always needed in June and July to assemble
the
production costumes. Also, our costume room is always in
need of
organization! Contact Karen Boots if you are interested in
helping out. |
Stage
Manager:
It
is
a major undertaking to coordinate the set movement during a play.
Kevin Passe has done a fantastic job of this in the past, but
we're sure he would be more than willing to take on an apprentice in
this area! |
Pit
Band:
Talented
instrumentalists are needed for each and every production.
The
pit band rehearses from late June through showtime. |
Tickets:
At
times
we need assistance with selling tickets. Sue Nelson has been
our
ticket/usher coordinator since RAT's inception. Contact her
if
you would like to volunteer in this area. |
