New to volunteering? Come see what it is all about when Angelina Arts Alliance opens the Temple Theater for a special annual event, the EnCorps Volunteer Orientation & Open House, Thursday August 20th,

6 pm at Angelina College. New and existing volunteers are invited to fill out volunteer applications, preview the upcoming season, take a backstage tour, meet staff members and enjoy free refreshments, thanks to Brookshire Brothers Food & Pharmacy, the event sponsor. The EnCorps Team is Arts Alliance’s volunteers who help with general operations at the theater during productions. Volunteers greet guests, hand out playbills, usher, collect tickets, and assist with concessions and merchandise.

“2015-2016 season is our 15th anniversary, and to celebrate that milestone this season is packed with big shows -- Blockbuster Broadway musicals, inspiring dramatic performances, singers, dancers, and musicians that will take your breath away,” said Ginger Trotter Marketing /Production Manager, “and we will need a large team of volunteers to make it happen.” Trotter added “Our EnCorps team is a faithful group of volunteers willing to donate their time to ensure Angelina Arts Alliance events at the Temple Theater are a success – and in return, our volunteers see our amazing shows … for free!”
