    As we celebrate our next production, Ride the Clycone, with some of our closest Friends of Metropolis, we are looking for help setting up and taking down for our Marquee Night on Saturday, September 26. Duties may include setting up and taking down tables, guiding guests, hauling and dumping heavy coolers and drinks, etc. We will need extra hands from about 3:30 pm - 5 pm and again from 7 pm to 9 pm. You do not need to be available for BOTH set up and takedown--you're welcoming to help with EITHER shift! (This schedule is subject to slight changes. Please let us know when you are available, and we will reach out to confirm a final schedule the week of September 21 based on specific needs.)

    You MUST indicate interest by Noon on Friday, September 25. We will send communications to all confirmed volunteers.
