Lunchbox Theatre is doing booths at the summer festivals this year and we need your help! If you can help out or have questions, please get in touch at boxoffice@lunchboxtheatre.com or 403-265-4292.

The first is the Lilac Festival, Sunday May 27 2012. The festival runs 10am to 6pm; shifts are 4 hours long.

If you would like to help but can't commit to four hours or your availability doesn't match up with a shift, we'd still love to have you!Let us know when you can be there.

Volunteer Duties
Say hello to festival attendees and hand out brochures
Encourage attendees to enter a draw for a 12/13 PlayPass
Answer questions about Lunchbox
We'll have an engagement activity again, so you'll also help people do that. Still confirming what it is; you'll be trained at the festival. Nothing complicated!

At least one volunteer must be up handing out brochures at all times, but you can spell off for breaks (to see the festival, get some food or rest) or if you need to sit down.

Dress for the weather - whatever that turns out to be! The event will happen rain or shine, and we do have a tent and a couple of chairs (for breaks). Bring your hats, umbrellas, sunscreen, water bottles, snacks, etc.

Lunchbox staff will be taking care of set up and take down, and will be available by phone at all times if you have any questions during the day.

We need 3-5 volunteers per shift.

Shift 1: 10am to 2pm
Shift 2: 2pm to 6pm

Again, if you are available to and interested in helping out on either shift, or have questions, please get in touch at boxoffice@lunchboxtheatre.com or 403-265-4292.
