Production

Set Construction, Lighting, Wardrobe, Makeup

Have you ever wondered what goes into producing an opera in the theater? Our set and lighting designers are always in need of volunteer manpower to build sets, hang lighting, and in general prepare the theater for upcoming productions, as well as striking the set at the production's conclusion. Volunteers are also needed to assist in wardrobe and makeup during the run of the production. Find out more about how you can get involved here.

Ushers take tickets, show audience members to their seats, and distribute programs at DVO productions. Find out how you can join our team of volunteer ushers here.
