“I felt welcomed and appreciated from the start. I doubt that I will ever try out for a role on stage, but as a part of the running crew or tech crew …I can help create something good for the community and it feels great/makes me happy.”

Piper Northrop

“For me, it’s the community. Volunteering at TL has introduced me to so many people with fascinating stories and unique views on life. Through those connections, I’ve built friendships and found mentors who have helped me grow not just as a technician but as a person. Being part of this community has deepened my love of theatre and confirmed my plans to continue with it in college.”
