Volunteer Opportunities

Memorial Opera House is where the arts create community, and a critical part of that community is our volunteers. Without a strong, dedicated volunteer base, it would be very challenging for the Opera House to continue to be a beacon of the arts in northwest Indiana. Please consider giving your time and talents to support our mission by becoming a volunteer.

Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Ushering
  • Box Office
  • Set Building
  • Stage Hands
  • Lighting & Sound
  • Costumes
  • and of course, appearing on our stage in one of our mainstage productions!

Volunteer Requirements

  • Age 16 or older. If you are under the age of 18, your parent/guardian must be present to sign the volunteer agreement and waiver of liability.
  • Complete a Volunteer Application (see link below)
  • Successfully complete a Volunteer Orientation

  • Submit to and satisfactorily pass a criminal background check.

Volunteer Orientation

Before you can begin serving as a volunteer, you must attend a Volunteer Orientation.  Orientation sessions are scheduled by the Box Office Manager as needed on a periodic basis. You will be notified via email or phone regarding the next upcoming Orientation.
