Volunteer Opportunities with Cap Stage

As a professional, nonprofit arts organization, Capital Stage is always looking for mature, responsible volunteers who want to contribute their time and skills to the development of Sacramento's bold, non-profit, professional theatre. Currently, Capital Stage is seeking the following volunteer assistance:

  • Theatre Ushers
    Our friendly ushers greet patrons at the door, hand out programs, help them find their seat and assist our house manager to make the audience feel comfortable. Ushers arrive at the theatre one hour before a performance to prepare the house and stay until the theatre has been cleared of all patrons. Ushers are given complimentary seats to the performance, based on availability.
  • Marketing
    Professional marketing experience is requested for this volunteer position. We are currently seeking volunteers who can commitment to a volunteer position at an average of 5 hours per week. Most of these hours may be worked from home.
  • Video Production
    We’re looking for volunteers with video production experience to help create exciting 60-second video trailers of our new productions for posting on our website, Facebook, and YouTube. Video production volunteers can commit to one short-term project or volunteer on an on-going basis.
  • Graphics
    We have a variety of needs for graphic skills including playbill design, email promotions, poster art, and more. Graphics volunteers can commit to one short-term project or volunteer on an on-going basis.
  • Videographer/Photographer

We would require your skills for capturing moments on stage during dress rehearsals or at special events to be used on our website, playbills, Facebook, brochures, YouTube videos, in local newspapers, and kept in our archives as part of Capital Stage history.

    If you have experience in any of these areas and would like to work on the build of a production set, our Technical Director will assign you a project that is a specific match for your skills and availability.
