Want to help create fantastic family theater? We need your help! Join Wild Swan and assist individuals, families, and school groups to find their seats in Towsley Auditorium at our public performances of A Christmas Carol. You might also join our Set Up or Tear Down crews to prepare our lobby and theater for the show or inventory and put everything away afterward. Volunteer at one of these shows:
- Friday, December 6, 2019- 9:00a - 10:15a Usher
- Saturday, December 7, 2019
- - 3:15p - 4:30p Tear Down Crew
- Sunday, December 8, 2018
- - 12:30p - 1:15p Setup Crew
- - 1:00p - 2:15p Usher
- - 3:15p - 4:30p Tear Down Crew
You are generally the first smiling face someone sees when coming to a Wild Swan production, so it is important that you are enthusiastic, professional and courteous to our patrons. Once everyone has been seated, we invite all volunteers to find an open seat and enjoy the show yourself if you like.
Introducing young audiences to classic children's literature, folk tales, and stories from around the world is truly valuable. And for many children, this is their very first experience with live theater - entertainment that doesn't come from a screen or a book. By volunteering, you make that possible for so many children and families. Join us!

About Wild Swan Theater
Location:
6175 Jackson Rd. - Ste. B, Ann Arbor, MI 48103, US
Mission Statement
Wild Swan Theater is dedicated to producing professional children's theater of the highest artistic quality and to making that theater accessible to low income, minority and disabled children through low ticket prices and innovative outreach programs.
Description
Wild Swan Theater was founded in 1980. Since its inception, the company of professional adult actors, dancers, musicians, visual artists and American Sign Language interpreters has performed for hundreds of thousands of children. As well as many public performances in its home base of Ann Arbor, the company tours regularly to theaters, museums and public libraries as well as offering residencies and workshops at schools and hospitals serving disabled children statewide. Wild Swan has pioneered a number of audience accessibility measures for disabled individuals that are models in the state and have earned the praise of educators and health specialists across the country. All productions are performed in American Sign Language as well as spoken English with the signing completely integrated into the productions. A program for blind individuals includes pre-performance backstage "touch tours". Audio-description, a simultaneous description of staging, lights, and costumes, transmitted electronically to participating audience members during pauses in the dialogue, permits audience members who are blind or visually impaired to have access to all the visual elements of the production.
