Homeschool Theatre Troupe

A successful full scale production requires help from all corners. A director relies on many volunteers. The following are areas that require participation and commitment from families of all cast members.

Costumes - helps procure costumes for actors; handles costume changes for performances. In some cases, sewing is involved.

Concessions - sells concessions during the intermission of each show.

Front of House - sells tickets at shows.

Make Up - applies suitable makeup for each actor for dress rehearsals and performances.
