The Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario, has officially closed applications for its Friends of the Festival volunteer program for the 2026 season and is now accepting applications from community members interested in joining for 2027.
Volunteers act as front-of-house ambassadors for the organization. These individuals are responsible for welcoming guests to performances, answering questions, and helping attendees find the correct theatre venue. Beyond regular performances, volunteers also assist at various events such as lectures, dance workshops, and readings by greeting guests and managing event check-ins.
Those who wish to participate must commit to a minimum of 50 volunteer hours per season. Potential volunteers are required to have access to a computer and email to fulfill their duties. The organization notes that organizational skills and a genuine love of theatre are considered beneficial assets for those looking to apply.
Residents interested in becoming a member of the Friends of the Festival can reach out via email at [email protected] to learn more about the application process.
