Thank You to the 41 volunteers that helped to make CTA’s Fall Festival an enormous success. Your efforts helped us raise nearly $3,000, which will go towards funding our Senior events and scholarships. On behalf of those seniors, I’d like to thank you for all of your support! 

From auditions through closing night, 83 volunteers put in over 2,231.75 hours of service in support of Tuck Everlasting at CTA! Your generosity with your time and talent was an essential component in creating a beautiful production & guest experience. We are so grateful for your service, and could not put on the professional quality shows that we do without you. Thank You! 

I say over 2,231.75 hours because this total counts only the hours scheduled, not the hours spent outside the theatre sewing costumes, thrift shopping for props, or putting in some unscheduled time fixing something that broke at a rehearsal. Our CTA Volunteers are unparalleled in their professionalism, kindness, and commitment. You are all PHENOMENAL! 

Did you miss the chance to help with our Fall Festival and Tuck Everlasting? Need to earn some service hours for school or want to enjoy some behind the scenes time with your family creating magic? Fear not, we are already working on our next production, Alice in Wonderland, and have openings to help support fundraising and community events.

Interested in volunteering with any of these events? Here’s how you can get involved. 

All volunteer scheduling is done through Volunteer Scheduler Pro. Unless you are already registered through the VSP system, you will need to register and login to sign up to help. You can find the volunteer registration form using THIS LINK. Please Note: You will only see volunteer slots available for the jobs and shifts that you select when filling out the registration form. Please choose ALL areas in which you have some interest, and when completing the Shift Preferences section, do not click the button to be scheduled only at these shifts. Choosing that option will result in you being unable to see and sign up for many of our volunteer opportunities. You will not be scheduled by CTA without being contacted for approval. We do not use the automatic scheduling feature of this software. You are in control of your schedule!  

Adults (everyone aged 18 years and over) are required to have an up-to-date background screening through Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks. You can determine if you have this screening by looking for your name on this list. If your name is not on the list, you will be required to complete that screening BEFORE volunteering at CTA. The background screening form is available at this link.

COMING SOON:

Be a part of the wonder this season by joining the Alice Crew (costumes, props, stagehands, lighting, & sound) or volunteering in the front of house (ticket taking, ushering, concessions sales). Front of House volunteers are able to watch the show for FREE in reserved seats in the back of the house. 

If you would like to be a part of CTA’s production of Alice in Wonderland, please register  as a volunteer (if you have not done so already this year), and sign up to help using THIS LINK. If you have any questions about volunteering at CTA, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Amy Schropp, at volunteers@childrenstheatreofannapolis.org.

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE! 

Thank you for considering becoming part of the CTA family!
