Croswell Opera House director thanks supporters of summer season

To the Editor,As we head into fall at the Croswell Opera House, it’s time to thank the wonderful volunteers, patrons and friends who made our summer season possible!Every Croswell production depends on the help of literally dozens of volunteers. I can’t possibly name them all, but here’s a look at some of the people whose hard work makes it all happen.Before every show, the spectacular sets and costumes you see on stage are built by a team of talented carpenters, painters, seamstresses and prop makers. (If you’ve never made a wedding cake out of hatboxes or two dozen cupcakes out of pool noodles, believe me, it’s no small task!)The actors themselves are volunteers too, putting countless hours and late nights into rehearsals — and for the younger set, we can’t forget the parents who shuttle them back and forth, buy makeup, help out backstage, and cheerfully put up with all the craziness the theater brings into their lives.When you come to a show, you’re greeted by ushers, ticket takers, concession stand attendants, and many more people — all volunteers as well.A volunteer committee organizes our Great Big Night every June, our biggest fundraiser of the year. Just a few weeks ago, another team turned out for our volunteer work day, helping this lovely old building look her best. And, of course, the board of trustees that oversees our organization is an all-volunteer group as well.In the coming months, you can look in your Croswell playbills to see some of our fantastic volunteers highlighted. Anyone who would like to volunteer can contact Ashley Brainerd at 517.263.6868 or abrainerd@croswell.org.To all of our friends… thank you, thank you, thank you! We couldn’t do it without you. And as we head into our fall and winter special event season, we hope to see you soon!Jere RighterArtistic director, The Croswell
