Every day, New Rep's staff and artists work hard to keep everything running smoothly – but they can't do it alone! New Rep wouldn't be able to offer the same quality productions without the help of its dedicated and caring volunteers. Last season alone, New Rep had over 200 volunteers who graciously offered their time to help with ushering, mailings, and special events. Their generosity is greatly appreciated and helped make our season a success.
We are currently looking for eager volunteers to help us with our upcoming season – our largest one yet – to help out in the various positions we have available; including ushering for our Mainstage and Downstage @ New Rep productions, helping with mailings, and assisting with special events. Any time you can offer is very much appreciated and extraordinarily helpful! No donation of time is too small!
If you are interested in offering your time to New Rep, or to inquire about what volunteering opportunities are available, please contact Rachael Donnelly, Box Office Associate, at 617-923-8487 x101 or rachaeldonnelly@newrep.org.
