For Audiences
Volunteering
Working with volunteers is central to our role in the local community and our identity as an open and accessible organisation. People feel an attachment to the theatre (and the building) over and above that of audience member. The Tobacco Factory isn’t just somewhere to see a show; it represents a particular spirit and ethos - of inclusion, independence, creativity and aspiration - that have been vital contributors to the regeneration of the area and will remain vital as the organisation continues to go from strength to strength.
We’re always rather overwhelmed by the amount of good will people feel towards the TF and we want to be able to effectively harness that and give people the chance to get involved that they’re so keen for. And there’s no getting away from the fact that it is incredibly helpful for us to be able to do this. The Tobacco Factory team is a small and very busy one, and help from volunteers is essential if we are to continue to give our audiences the great experiences they have come to expect from their visits here. Theatre volunteers help us keep going from day to day and consolidate our relationship with our audiences and the community and we couldn’t do what we do without them.
You can find out about what volunteering at the TF involves by downloading the pack to the right of this page. (Please note this pack was last updated in summer 2009 and is due to be revised soon.)
We currently have a full complement of volunteers, so there aren’t any opportunities available at the moment. We do keep a waiting list, though, so please get in touch with your email address if you’d like to be notified as soon as opportunities arise.
