Olney Theatre Center is looking for volunteer ASL interpreters to assist Deaf/Hard of hearing audience members attending performances on our campus. We are specifically looking for volunteers for the evening of June 2 and during the run of The Music Man from June 17-July 24. Volunteers do not have to be available for all performances, but can choose which ones work for their schedules. We are looking for people who can help Deaf/Hard of hearing audience members navigate our campus and lobbies. Volunteers may also be asked to assist with Vaccine-check at the doors or help individuals find their seats.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Interpreters must be proficient/fluent in both English and American Sign Language.
- Complete Usher Training (approximately 1.5 hours) prior to arrival
- Proof of Covid-19 Vaccination and adherence to our current Health and Safety protocols
- Bonus if you're familiar with attending a musical/theatre performance
To volunteer, please contact Rebecca Dzida (she/her), Community Engagement Coordinator at rdzida@olneytheatre.org.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
