WORCESTER Theatre volunteers have been soaking up their own share of the applause.
They took centre stage at a thank you tea party at the Swan Theatre in Worcester.
The event, on Tuesday May 26, celebrated the people who help create a warm and welcoming experience for audiences throughout the year, including volunteer stewards and bar staff.
Some have been volunteers at the Swan Theatre or Huntingdon Hall for only a month, while others have been volunteering for decades.
Worcester Theatre chairman Jon Fraser was on hand to personally thank the volunteers for their ongoing support and commitment to the charity.
He said: “Having started my own theatre journey as a volunteer at The Rose Theatre in Kidderminster, I know first-hand the passion and commitment these roles require. Theatre is built on collaboration, and volunteers are a vital part of that collective effort. Their generosity and dedication help ensure that every visitor feels welcomed from the moment they arrive.
“No matter how good the performance on stage is, the audience experience begins long before the curtain rises. Our volunteers play a vital role in creating that experience, and their dedication is hugely valued across our venues at the Swan Theatre and Huntingdon Hall. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank our volunteers for everything they do. Whether welcoming audiences, serving behind the bar or supporting front of house, they are truly the lifeblood of theatre.”
