Depending on their skills, the focus of their work can be on public relations, organising meetings or working with young people. In addition, the volunteer can choose which other projects in the house he/she/they would like to be involved in.

The range of tasks that arises in our theatre is wide. Due to the very small structure, we are flexible to respond to the talents and interests of our team members.
Your tasks will include the evening services at the house (on average, this is 1-2 per week and includes performance support and bar service). Further tasks which are handles by everyone in the team are taking care of the guest ensembles and the daily tasks at the house (from cleaning the toilets to heating the ovens to cleaning the guest apartment)
Tasks in which you could gain experience and contribute are e.g.
– event organization
– Press and public relations
– Management of a cultural enterprise
– Technical realization of the guest performances
– Support of the volunteers
Depending on your interests, it is possible to bring in your own ideas in these areas and implement them (e.g. your own social media channel, a series of events in the bar, etc.).
