From the Volunteer Coordinator

This production needs you!  We need family volunteers to help everything run smoothly during each production and it is fun.  Each family is asked to complete 2 volunteer positions.  Once you have signed up for 2 slots (and you have met your original 15 ticket sales requirement) you will be eligible for 6 comp tickets.  A SignUpGenius is being setup for signing up for volunteer slots.  We are finalizing the needs and expect to have the link out to you tonight.  In the meantime, start thinking about how you would like to help.  Also note there is a new backstage access pass requirement -- see the note below from NTPA and submit the application.

Here is a short summary of the basic roles needed:

Backstage/Dressing Rooms:

Assist actors with props and moving sets. Keep kids quiet.  Help with costume changes, hair, etc.   These volunteer position will require a NTPA Backstage Access Pass. 

Tickets:

Mark tickets as used.  Pass out playbills.  Seating assistance.  Cleanup Theater and lobby after show.

Concession:

Set up and sell concessions. 

If you have any questions, please email me at marciask2@gmail.com or call/text 972-639-7939.

Thank you for your support of the show!

Message from the North Texas Performing Arts governing board. You will not be allowed backstage unless this is competed. 

Thank you!

Dear Families:

We always strive to provide a fun, safe environment where your children can feel at home.  We want you to feel secure leaving your children in our care. We believe our staff, volunteers, families and patrons are the best in the community who fully support the general welfare and best interests of your children, our staff and family of theaters.  

However, as we grow, we would like to provide additional security and peace of mind to the children, staff and volunteers who mean so much to the continued success of our family of theaters.  In the tradition of other performing arts companies, we are excited to introduce, the Backstage Access Pass.  It will be a new measure of security that we believe will further enhance the safety of our families.

Starting May 2015, anyone sixteen or over who is not a cast member of the current show will be required to have a Backstage Access Pass in order to gain access to restricted backstage areas during shows or other times designated by PCT/PYT/MYT/FYT. If you ever volunteer backstage or frequent the backstage areas to assist with hair, costumes, make-up or simply bringing your child lunch or a change of clothes, you will need a Backstage Access Pass.

Applying is easy!  All you need to do is click on the link below for a CONFIDENTIAL background check.  The results, your information, or even whether or not you applied, will not be shared with the show Directors, Patrons, Volunteers or General Staff of PCT/PYT/MYT/FYT.

Once you are approved, your name will be added to the list of those approved for backstage access and you will be provided with a personalized card which will provide you backstage access for 2 years. The list is updated once a week and passes are mailed about 2 weeks after you apply. 

Applying for a Backstage Access Pass is completely voluntary. Don’t worry, you do not need a Backstage Access Pass to volunteer!  It’s only required to go backstage!  Concessions, tickets, door monitor, etc. do not need a Backstage Access Pass.  

If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact backgroundchecks@planochildrenstheatre.org.
