Verge is your home for community theater.

We operate on a “small but mighty” staff of three and are supported by a dedicated Board of Directors.

However…

Theater Is Community!

Our incredible volunteers donate their most limited resource. The generous gift of their time. At Verge we invite local community members with a passion for the arts and heart for community service to join the Verge Family. We have multiple opportunities for volunteers ranging from greeting guests at the door before a show - to manning our Gallery by Day on a Saturday morning. Don’t worry if you don't have experience, we will make sure you are trained on all our equipment and procedures before your first shift.

Saturday Gallery Attendant

Verge is a Gallery by Day ~ Theater by Night. We feature up to six fine artists annually. This is a great opportunity for an art lover who needs an internet connection, a quiet place to work, and enjoys connecting with our community. Our Gallery by Day is open on Saturday’s from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. We divide those four hours up into two, two-hour shifts. While attending to the Gallery, volunteers will have thoughtful conversations with our guests about our current artist and their work, provide basic information on upcoming events, direct guests on where to get more information about Verge Theater, and handle all Gallery sales. We will train you on our POS system and make sure you have all the information you need to confidently answer basic questions. All of our volunteers are invited to attend a Verge Production as our guest or exchange volunteer hours for class hours. Eight volunteer hours = One, 8-week class session.
