Volunteer Opportunities

Join us for a hands-on workshop to experience community theater in Nehalem.


Hi there!

My name is Linda Makohon, and I'm the Volunteer Committee Chairperson for Riverbend Players Community Theater. We're a local theater company that produces high-quality productions for the Nehalem Valley. We're always looking for new volunteers to help us, and I'm excited that you're interested in joining our team.

There are many different ways to volunteer with us. You could help with acting, stage crew, costume design, set design, marketing, or promotion. No matter your skills or interests, we can find a way to use them to make our theater productions even better.

We're a friendly, inclusive, and supportive group of people, and we would be honored to have you join us. If you're interested in volunteering, please fill out the form below or contact me at Lmakohon@riverbendplayers.org

We look forward to hearing from you!
