Volunteer
The Filament Theatre Ensemble will warmly embrace anyone who is interested in helping us with the following tasks:

[] Seeking sponsors and/or program ad sales for Choose Thine Own Adventure
[] Seeking and booking performance opportunities for Alice & Me!

Donate
Ticket sales only cover a small portion of our annual operating costs.  If you would like to help us financially, we would deeply appreciate it!  No amount is too small: $10 pays for programs for one performance; $50 buys one costume; $100 covers the cost of 1,000 postcards for marketing; with $500 we can send a performance of Alice and Me! to a school that could not otherwise afford it.  And, in addition to our gratitude and undying affection, your donation is fully tax deductible.
