Curious About Community Theatre? Come to Our Open House!
Have you always wanted to get involved in community theatre but weren’t sure where to start?
Have you filled out our online volunteer form but want to meet people face-to-face?
Are you simply curious about what happens behind the scenes or the old building we call "home"?
Now’s your chance!
Altoona Community Theatre is opening the doors to our historic downtown space and inviting YOU to come take a look behind the curtain. Whether you're interested in acting, building sets, helping backstage, or lending a hand in the office, there's a place for everyone in our theatre family.
Please join us:
Location: ACT Rehearsal Hall & Administrative Office, 1213 12th St, Altoona, PA
Date: Saturday August 2
Time: 10 AM to 2 PM
What to Expect:
Tour our building – Get a behind-the-scenes look at where the magic happens.
Meet fellow theatre lovers – Connect with current volunteers, staff, board members, and the directors of the upcoming Mainstage shows.
Explore volunteer opportunities – In costume construction, set construction, prop sourcing and fabrication, special effects, and more!
Learn how you can get involved – On stage, off stage, and everything in between.
Why Volunteer with ACT?
Be part of a creative community – Share your passion for the performing arts with others who love theatre just as much as you do.
Discover new skills – Learn the ropes of theatre production, stagecraft, or arts administration—no experience needed!
Support happens offstage, too – Help with office tasks, data entry, costume organizing, errands, and more.
Be the power behind the production – We rely on passionate people, not just patrons. Your willingness to show up and pitch in is what makes our shows possible.
Whether you're a seasoned stagehand or someone who's never set foot in a theatre, this is your invitation to come see what ACT is all about.
We can’t wait to meet you!
