One of the best ways to support Godwin Theatre is to join the Short Pump Players Angels Booster organization. There are many different levels of membership, each offering a variety of theatre benefits. For more information about membership please contact Christine D’Amour via email or download the SPPA Membership Form.
Booster volunteers are critical to the success of the Godwin Theatre program. Opportunities include ticket sales, concessions, collecting props, ad sales, balloons and flower sales, set construction, costume alterations, scene painting, photography, video production, helping out during rehearsals and shows, assisting with our end-of-the-year banquet and much, much more! For more information about volunteering, please contact our president, Donna Llewellyn via email.
