shakespeare in the arb volunteer application

June 2013 - Much Ado about Nothing

Join us in celebrating the 13th season of this magical Ann Arbor theater tradition. It takes many volunteers to support the behind-the-scenes and upfront elements of this beloved LSA Residential College production, whose performances literally move through different areas of the Arb throughout each play. Volunteers usher the audience from scene to scene, all the while enjoying the play (for free) and the scenic beauty of the Arb, of course. Volunteers also receive a cool Shakespeare t-shirt!

*An orientation is required for this event.
