Volunteer

For over 40 years, our volunteers have been the lifeblood of Near West Theatre.

At NWT, we offer over 300 opportunities each year to get involved from backstage to the box office. Volunteers are critical to the smooth sailing of every single show and event. We simply could not do what we do without the loving help of our community.
