LA Youth Workshop Seeks Volunteers

The Unusual Suspects Theatre Company is seeking volunteers for upcoming youth performance workshops in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Volunteers will help underserved kids from foster care and the juvenile justice system write and perform an original play.

The company is seeking professional actors for staged readings of workshop plays, a one-day commitment. Other volunteer opportunities include mentor artists who will oversee an entire 6-12-week workshop, tech staff, and front of house assistants. All volunteers must attend an orientation and undergo a background check.

Upcoming workshops will take place at Narbonne High School in Harbor City (Jul. 10-Aug. 18), Camp David Gonzales in Calabasas (Jul. 21-Sept. 29), Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility in Chino (Aug. 29- Nov. 3), and Pacoima Elementary School in Pacoima (Sept 11-Oct 20).

To volunteer, email your résumé and cover letter to Kristen at unusual.scott@gmail.com or fax to (310) 558-3190.
