Volunteers

There is nothing typical about our outstanding Stirling Festival Theatre Volunteers, but if we could put our finger on any one thing that makes each person stand out, it would be their keen interest in making the theatre a success in Stirling, attracting audiences from near and far!

A desire to contribute their skills and enthusiasm to the Stirling Festival Theatre is one of their stellar attributes.

Over the past 27 years, our volunteers have helped the Stirling Festival Theatre become the vibrant hub of entertainment, music and laughter that it is today. We couldn’t do it without them.

Come join the fun!
