Volunteer

There are so many ways to give of your time and skills to support Opera San Luis Obispo through direct volunteering. We hope you will find one of these interesting! Call the office for more information, or to volunteer.

Administration

• Volunteer Coordinator — This can be a big job or small one, depending on your level
  of involvement.
• Volunteer Hour tracker — One of the areas that is providing a challenge these days is
  keeping track of the hours of volunteer work that are done for Opera San Luis Obispo. Our tax filings as well as many grants require this information.
  

Costuming
Whether it is hems, buttons or adjusting size, helping on the fly is the name of the game. You'll have opportunities to not only help ahead of time, but also work backstage during production week.

• Sewing
• Fitting
• Dressing
• Schlepping—Sometimes we just need help getting costumes moved, or need someone to run out to pick up a last minute item.

Supernumerary
Also known as the Extra, we often need someone who can do a non-singing role. This will require attendance at a certain number of evening rehearsals in the weeks prior to opening night. The number of rehearsals depends on the show of course, as does the need for specific characters (male, female, child, tall, small, etc.). We would love to have a list of people upon whom we could call.

Chorus
All of our chorus members are community residents with a passion to sing. We hold auditions once or twice annually.
