Volunteers are an integral part of our organization. We just couldn’t do it without your help. And it’s a great opportunity for high school students to complete their volunteers hours for graduation.

Board of Directors

Festival Players is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors, comprised of people who share a passion for theatre and a commitment to the community. And we’re looking for new members. Experience with theatre and a knowledge of the County is helpful but not essential. Use your diverse talents to help us shape and create our season. Board members meet monthly.

Billets

Even though it feels like Opening Night is a long way away, the visiting portion of our cast and crew will be making their way to County in the beginning of June. Many of our company members are theatre professionals who are working on the 2010 season in the County this summer, but live elsewhere (Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto) during the year. Festival Players has typically housed these performers in the homes of some most generous and friendly folks, in a volunteer billeting arrangement.

This is where you come in!

Festival Players company members are looking for billeting arrangements lasting 3-6 weeks from the beginning of June to August 28th. All they require is a private room and access to a kitchen to prepare meals. We are particularly looking for centrally-located spaces like Picton, but anywhere in the County may work. If you have a spare room in your house, or a residence you aren’t using during any portion of that timeframe, we would love your help.

Some company members are also looking for short-term, reasonably-priced rentals. In-town apartments/condos, houses, cottages and cabins – if you’ve got something for rent by the week or month, give us a call.

To thank those so generously providing voluntary billeting to our company members, Festival Players will invite you to the Opening Night gala of your choice and provide you with two additional tickets, to the show of your choice, for use during the season. Plus you’ll get to hang with some very interesting theatre types if you choose.

If you’re interested in billeting, have a space, or any questions about how this works, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@festivalplayers.ca or call 613-399-5677. If you’re unsure if your space would work, or if you only have a week or two to offer, please contact us anyway. We’re grateful for the opportunity to discuss this with you.
