The Carolina Theatre of Durham is increasing its presence at more community events in Durham. This is an opportunity for the organization to interact directly with our community outside the brick-and-mortar walls of the physical theater. Our presence at community events gives us a chance to introduce ourselves to new Durham residents, and enhance our engagement with already-established patrons.

Volunteers will be expected to answer questions about programs, including upcoming live shows and films, speak to their own personal experiences visiting the theater, and encourage booth visitors to subscribe to our newsletter and try their luck at spinning our popular prize wheel!
