Volunteering is a great way to be part of the HOBT community and to meet
like-spirited people.

Volunteers make it possible for HOBT to offer
community-based art events at our Theatre, while acquiring hands-on
puppet- and mask-building skills.
More than 350 individuals volunteered nearly 6,000 hours to HOBT during
the last year. They performed tasks such as ushering, assisting with the
build of shows, MayDay crew, and working on administrative or serving
on organizational committees.
Main Stage
Get involved in the behind the scenes" work that goes into mounting
new shows — set building, puppet-making, sewing, ushering, and stage
managing.
Year-Round
If you have skills and an interest in community-based programming,
long-range planning, budgeting, fund-raising, the legal field, or neighborhood
issues, please consider joining one of the Committees of our Board
of Directors.
Internships
Throughout the year, HOBT uses volunteer interns in a variety of capacities.
If you have some experience and skills in painting, papier maché,
set construction, technical theater, working with children, or are
interested in an volunteer arts management internship, please tell
us about your interest, background and availability.
All of our internships are unpaid (unfortunately).
Hundreds of positions are available during April and on MayDay itself,
including: Public Workshop Assistants, Park Set-Up Crew, Ceremony Ushers,
Park Strike Crew, Stage Managers, Parade Marshals, Merchandise Booth Staff
and more!
