Davidson Community Players are seeking volunteers as they prepare for another summer season of theatre in Davidson. If you’d like to join in, they’re having a volunteer reception at their soon-to-be-renovated theatre in the old Baptist church, 307 Armour St., on Wednesday, May 7, at 7 p.m. For details on how to volunteer…

Davidson Community Players announcement:

Davidson Community Players is gearing up for an exciting and challenging summer season and WE NEED YOU! This summer, we are producing Little Women, the Broadway Musical and Lend Me a Tenor. These will require a huge effort. We are currently compiling lists of helpers for the following:

• Carpenters to help build each show
• Painters to help paint each show
• Props helpers for each show
• Running crew for each show
• Many hands to help load each show into the Duke Family Theatre at Davidson College

Save the dates for the Little Women load-in: Thursday June 12, Friday, June 13 and Saturday, June 14.

Save the dates for the Lend Me a Tenor load-in: Thursday July 17, Friday, July 18 and Saturday July 19.

RENOVATING A NEW THEATRE

Perhaps our biggest news is that we are planning to renovate the former Heritage Church on Armour Street into a small theatre. This is really big news for us…as the Players will now have opportunities to produce plays and offer kids classes and camps year round!

On Wednesday May 7, 7 p.m., we will be holding a volunteer reception at our new theatre, 307 Armour Street in Davidson. If you have wondered what it might be like to see a play from “behind the scenes,” this will give you a chance to see our new space, learn about our most immediate volunteer needs and sign up to help on a specific crew or crews. Light refreshments will be served.

No need to RSVP, but if you are NOT available to attend and wish to be added to a crew, please email Melissa Roberge at NCMOR@aol.com and let her know where you think you might fit in.
