Why we need
you...
SVP is a great way to meet new people and be a part of
a 30-year-old tradition. Whether you want to be on stage
or behind the scenes, there are plenty of ways to help out.
Volunteers make things happen and keep SVP alive but the
real reason to get involved is because it fun.
We are expanding and need talented, enthusiastic people
with new ideas and energy to help us grow. As part of a
creative venture, you will find opportunities to make each
project different, adding your own special flair to each
project.

building improvement projects and ushering are handled in
this group. Ushers are key ambassadors for our group and
the performances.

 Makeup
and Hair
Assist directors and producers with specific production
needs and planning, research hair and makeup trends for
different eras as relates to shows, assist actors with styling
hair and makeup applications, and you may need to help with
last-minute costume, makeup, and hair fixes (i.e. you should
work well with safety pins!) .
 Music
If you are musically inclined, you may be interested in
playing an instrument for a show, coaching vocalists, playing
piano for rehearsals, or acting as music director for a
show.
Poster/Artwork/Brochures/Program
Seeking artists, creative minds, and writers for designing
and organizing printed materials. Program requires soliciting
advertisers and collecting payment from them. Poster requires
design/artistic skills and finding people to help distribute
the posters around town and the Madison area. We also need
people to help design membership and fundraising brochures.

Are you organized? Help us find and maintain props for shows,
determine the usefulness of past props (are they worth keeping?)
and maybe even stick around to help backstage during performances.

Help us get the word out! Contact radio stations, TV stations,
newspapers, and area businesses with show information. Maybe work
with Website Committee with links. Maintain the SVP page on www.madstage.com,
and post audition and show dates in various media venues.

for director. May have some duties supervising other behind-the-scenes
