Volunteering at the Kelowna Community Theatre (KCT) is an excellent way to meet people, learn new skills, and become involved in the local arts community. KCT relies on dedicated volunteers who donate their time and skills to support Front of House and Guest Services for the local productions and touring shows that cross our stage. Shifts are primarily evenings on weekdays and weekends though daytime events and matinees are available.
