Volunteers are the backbone of the Hayes Performing Arts Center. From ushers to fundraisers to advocates, our dedicated volunteers contribute time and talent to our success on every level. Whether you’re interested in patron services, fundraising or marketing, we’re confident you can find the perfect role.
Contact Allison West at 828-295-0112 x6 for more information. Also consider one of these established programs:
Theatre Ushers
Theatre ushers are the first point of contact for patrons attending Hayes Center shows. We ask that ushers commit to volunteer at least one evening per week.
Marketing Assistants
We always need help calling and contacting potential customer groups to attend shows.
Posters and Flyers
Hanging posters and handing out flyers are grassroots efforts for promoting shows.
After Show Parties
For certain shows, host a party to honor the visiting artists/performers and invite your friends. We want to make our performers feel at home during their stay in Blowing Rock. In the entertainment industry, word spreads quickly among performers and the Hayes Center’s reputation is on the line. Hosting parties is also a wonderful way to cultivate new patrons or even introduce new patron to the Center.
Community Relations Council
This advisory group strives to build new and non-traditional audiences for The Hayes Center. The group markets our productions and programs and builds strategic relationships. For more information or to join this group, call Rick Suyao, director of marketing, at 828-295-0112 x5.
