Dedicated volunteers at the Van Wert Civic Theatre are invited to a special Volunteer Appreciation Night on Friday, April 10. This one-of-a-kind event is a heartfelt thank you to the men and women who give their time, talent, and passion to keep the magic of live theatre alive in the Van Wert community.

The evening kicks off with a guided theatre tour from 6-7 p.m. giving attendees a rare and exciting chance to see the theatre like never before. Whether you have volunteered for years or are just getting involved, this tour offers a fascinating look at the inner workings that bring every production to life.

During the tour, guests will have the opportunity to step into the spaces that make every show possible. Highlights of the behind-the-scenes experience include:

Light and Sound Booth: Discover the technical wizardry behind every spotlight and sound cue that sets the mood for each performance.

Costuming: Step into the world of wardrobe and see how costumes are created and maintained to transform performers into their characters.

Set Building and Design: Go behind the curtain to see how the theatre’s talented crew constructs and designs the stunning sets that bring each story to life.

Marketing: Get a look at how the theatre spreads the word and connects with the community to fill seats season after season.

Following the tour, the fun continues with a lively trivia competition beginning at 7 p.m., the perfect way to end a memorable evening, connecting with fellow volunteers and celebrating the community that makes the Van Wert Civic Theatre such a beloved institution.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring a friend along for the evening. The more the merrier, and it is a wonderful opportunity to introduce someone new to the theatre and everything it has to offer.

Seating is limited, so volunteers are asked to RSVP as soon as possible. To reserve your spot, contact Terry Plas at 419.203.1553. The Van Wert Civic Theatre is located at 118 S. Race St, Van Wert.
