The Black Academy of Arts and Letters (TBAAL) is a multi-discipline arts organization whose mission is to create and enhance an awareness and understanding of artistic, cultural, and aesthetic differences utilizing the framework of African, African-American and Caribbean Arts and Letters.
The Black Academy of Arts and Letters, located in the Dallas Convention Center Theater Complex, presents concerts, comedy, jazz, theatrical productions, writer's roundtables, workshops, and cultural arts programs. TBAAL's 43rd season begins September 1, 2019 and runs through August 31, 2020. Volunteer opportunities include weekday and weekend (evening) programs. Volunteers are needed throughout the season, but are scheduled on a monthly basis.
Evening programs generally begin at 8 p.m. in the Naomi Bruton Theater, or at 9 p.m. in the Muse Cafe Theater. Upon arrival, volunteers will sign-in at the designated sign-in location. Duties include engaging patrons (prior to the call for seating), and encouraging patrons to purchase TBAAL (individual or corporate) memberships. Volunteers will also greet and thank patrons as they exit the venue.
At the close of each evening's program, volunteers verify that membership forms and corresponding paperwork is complete and materials are secure.
This is an exciting opportunity to meet new people, learn about the arts, and volunteer at one of Dallas' finest cultural non-profit institutions.
Administrative duties during the day include data entry, sorting, filing, mail-outs, etc.
Note: Certain programs may begin earlier than the times noted above. Volunteer arrival and departure times are adjusted to reflect earlier program start or end times.
We invite you to come, join us and have some fun!
