Join Our Team of Volunteers! 

Support the Arts while being a part of creating the art! 

TAP’s Mission
Third Avenue PlayWorks inspires community connections and sparks dialogue through wide-ranging professional theatre.

Volunteers are an essential part of TAP.  From help putting on shows to keeping our facilities running smoothly we depend on volunteers to help us accomplish our mission.  The bonus is you can make new friends, have a lot of fun and see some great theatre!
