Come be part of something that matters this summer.

Marjorie Book has been producing full length theatrical productions since 1993 with inclusive casts represented by a variety of abilities and disabilities and represented by various age groups from ages 12 – 86.  This summer, we will produce a full length play.   We also can use volunteers to help with clerical tasks and to help actors run lines on any particular night of rehearsals. We would welcome volunteers for one night or for many evenings.  At certain points, we can use volunteer help in moving supplies from our storage space in Over the Rhine to locations in Clifton.  We do not hold auditions, although we do engage in some staged readings during the first rehearsal and then cast parts.  Please let us know if you are interested in being involved.  All are welcome, and it is not necessary to be an accomplished reader (or even a reader) to participate in the play. 

Watch on the Rhine is a 1941 play by Lillian Hellman about a German anti-fascist, Kurt Muller, who seeks refuge with his American wife's family in Washington D.C. as WWII looms, but his past catches up with him through a Nazi-sympathizing houseguest, forcing a confrontation with fascism and moral duty.

To help you, and our participants to get the most of the experience, volunteers are asked to read our volunteer handout prior to attending an event.

We are always looking for actors, with and without prior experience, to join the cast.  Most actors are able to make 80 percent of the rehearsals, but almost all of the actors miss some rehearsals. If you are interested in acting, please come to the first rehearsal, or contact us at: 513-328-6300.

!IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT END!

Guests who arrive usually have cleaned clothes that they have previously left to be laundered. Once clean, we store a guests bag until they return. We are looking for individuals interested in assisting the process of going-for (go-pher this or go-pher that) guest bags, searching for shoes, helping to restock clothing that is provided to new guests and bringing the freshly laundered clothes downstairs to the front desk for distribution. If working in a non-profit and directly helping those in our community sounds like your thing, come give us a hand:)

**Before you arrive on Republic call the front desk at (513)-721-4811  in order to let you in off the street. We do not open until 8:30 and guests start to congregate in front of our building.
