Volunteer Opportunities

The Nashville Shakespeare Festival would love to have you join us! 

Volunteering for the Nashville Shakespeare Festival's productions is a unique experience that not only serves the arts community of Nashville but also exposes the volunteers to various aspects of the theatrical world. All talents are welcome throughout the year, whether they be as complex as carpentry or as basic as phone skills.

The Nashville Shakespeare Festival most often uses volunteers during its runs of Summer Shakespeare. These end-of-summer shows, which are free to the public with a suggested give-what-you-can donation, depend heavily upon their volunteers.  These volunteers help with nightly setup, passing out programs, staffing the concessions area, collecting donations, and generally making sure that the things outside of the show itself run smoothly.

The Festival also needs volunteers for our annual indoor productions during the Winter and Spring. Volunteers will usher and assist with concessions and box office duties. Ushers are needed both for evening performances and weekday morning matinees for school groups.
