Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes when you go to a play, or to a concert? Have you ever been interested in meeting the artists first hand? The Centenary Performing Arts Guild may have just the answers and opportunities for you. A host of very special volunteers make it possible for this premiere not-for-profit performing arts series to thrive here in the Skylands region, as it has for over 20 years.

"Volunteers truly are the lifeblood
of any arts organization."
Producing Director, Carl Wallnau

This season the Performing Arts Guild has several opportunities for volunteers, including assisting in several capacities with the exciting Jazz in January series, beginning January 12 in Hackettstown (www.centenarystageco.org). Jazz in January kicks off with a bang, with world-class jazz legend, Bucky Pizzarelli and the "New York Swing", followed by "The Diva Jazz Orchestra" on January 19th and the Three great tenor Sax players on January 26th. Centenary Volunteers will assist Guild administrative staff with:

• Ushering
• Taking tickets
• Making preparations for the concert evening, as welcoming the artists as they set up prior to performance

Side Benefits of Volunteering

See Performances For Free
Volunteering at the Performing Arts Guild is a great way to see performances for free. All volunteers will see these exciting performances at no charge, which is an especially valuable opportunity for regional jazz afficionados, as well as students of music in the region.

Official "Community Service" credits
Centenary is pleased to be able to also offer official "Community Service" credits for individuals seeking to fulfill these educational graduation requirements.
