Deck the Halls at ATW with Holiday Decorations on Saturday, December 7th from 1:30pm-6:30pm

Help decorate The Actors Theatre Workshop (ATW) for our 31st Annual Holiday Class and Celebration. Make garlands, put up decorations and help bring an award-winning after-school theatre arts education to children experiencing homelessness or on the spectrum this holiday season.

Volunteers will do any or all of the following (activities may change depending on donor availability):

• Repair and hang lights around our lobby, hallways, studios and theater
• Securely install, decorate and drape a decorative tree
• Make decorative garlands, wreaths and vase arrangements using tree branches
• Do light cleaning - sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning windows and other surfaces.
• Painting the walls and risers of the theatre
• Light lifting and climbing on a ladder or step stool is required for much of this work.

Other possible tasks:

• For those comfortable with tools: small repairs such as using hammer and nails, tightening screws.
• Organizing on-site equipment and supplies for storing Christmas supplies and donations, including moving boxes and furniture.
• Inventory on supplies that will be used for the children’s parties.
• Purchasing, or picking up purchased or donated supplies (using ATW funds).

Other important info:

• The event will be videotaped and photographed for our documentation and communication purposes. Volunteers must review and sign a Video/Photo Release upon arrival.
• Please note that volunteers will be divided into smaller groups, and depending on our needs, there is no guarantee that you will be working on a specific task that you had in mind. We appreciate your willingness to help out with whatever needs to be done.
• Participants must dress comfortably: sneakers/flat shoes and clothes they can move comfortably in.
• Participants with fir or pine tree pollen allergies should take allergy medication before arriving.
