You can play a role in this annual production by becoming a volunteer! Volunteers are a crucial part of SOTL's success, and assist with ushering, guest check-in, program distribution, and traffic control.
As a 'thank you' for their volunteerism, volunteers receive one complimentary ticket to a Measure for Measure performance for every night they volunteer. The complimentary tickets are distributed at the end of each volunteer shift, allowing volunteers to stay for that night’s performance or come back later in the week.
Please Note: this is an outdoor event in mid-July and consider any health risks you may have in relation to heat or humidity. If a performance is cancelled due to weather, volunteers will be notified by phone no later than 3 PM the day of the show.
