The CECA is run by a small group of dedicated people who help create exciting programs for your children. In order to continue our efforts, we need extra hands to help with some of the many jobs our staff tackles year round. This will allow us to create more opportunities for your children! The committees listed below are waiting for you to take on. Have a look at what interests you — if you feel you can take on a certain project, or you need more information before you commit, please e-mail questions or comments to Brian at Brian@cuttingedgetheater.com
School Outreach
Recruit students to perform in CECA productions. Volunteering may include scouting at local school productions and connecting with principals to let them know about our programs.
Edge
Coordinate student and parent committees for shows, oversee publicity and outreach, organize company social outings, meetings, fundraising.
Merchandise
Monitor inventory of CECA shirts, totes, etc. Create laminated display signs (prices, sizes, etc.) for selling items at shows. Re-order as needed via phone, email with account at area merchant. Organize sellers at CECA shows and have merchandise brought there and returned to CECA(does not include organizing volunteers to sell items).
Donor List
Keep track of donations received onto spreadsheet (either privately or from online registration). Email thank you notes to donors (a template can be provided). Compile donors and submit to person in charge of Mainstage playbill. Look into other ways that donors might be recognized (invited dress, dinner, free tickets, special performance, email announcement/newsletter, etc.)
Grants/Fundraising
Work with Brian Fontenot and David Kiviaho to research, apply for, and follow up on grants for CECA. Brainstorm other fundraising ideas.
