Del Rey's Spring 2027 Musical
Volunteer Preview
Registration in October 2026
The Del Rey Musical program depends on the support and involvement of family members. As part of each student cast registration, we expect an adult to sign up for both (1) one committee role AND (2) one show volunteer role. We also ask tech crew families to sign up for one show volunteer role. Tech crew does not require committee involvement (although we welcome your help – please contact us directly if interested). We have tried very hard to create a manageable commitment for each family that distributes the load fairly.
Sign up for your committee role on the registration form. You also select a show volunteer role on the MTK sign-up form. Please note that both a committee position AND a show volunteer role must be selected in order for cast registration to be considered complete! Tech crew families must select a show volunteer role in order for tech crew registration to be considered complete.
Volunteer Step 1: Choose a Committee
Cast families only choose one committee during registration.
Our program will have four committees: Props, Costumes, Sets, and Marketing. Each committee has a parent leader and nine volunteers. We anticipate a commitment of two to three hours per volunteer if the work is distributed evenly. Committees will begin meeting during the rehearsal period.
**Please note that families will be signing up for one of the nine supporting volunteer positions on our registration form. If your first-choice committee is sold out, please select one of the other committees that still has space available.
Props: Under the direction of the parent leader, Props committee duties could include: making or acquiring show props; setting up prop tables for actors and presetting props on stage before each performance; and breaking down the props table and storing props after performances.
Costumes: Under the direction of the parent leader, Costume committee duties may include: making or acquiring costume pieces; fitting costumes during rehearsals; organizing costumes before and after performances; and cleaning and returning/donating/storing (at DR) costumes after the last performance. Sewing skills are a plus (but not required).
Sets: Under the direction of the parent leader, Sets committee duties may include: making or acquiring larger set pieces; marking (taping) set locations on the stage and creating “set look” photos; and storing, donating, or disposing of set items after the last performance.
Marketing/PR: Under the direction of Jin Sun Park and the marketing lead, Marketing committee duties may include: taking cast photos, creating the program and show poster, organizing and overseeing carpool publicity during performance week, and planning the cast/crew party.
Volunteer Step 2: Choose a Show Volunteer Role
All families choose one show volunteer role on MTK during registration.
Our show simply couldn’t happen without our show-time volunteers. This year we are asking each family, both cast and crew, to select one of the show volunteer roles described below. All roles happen at a specific day and time (during one of the performances).
The sign-up form will be available during registration. This form will list the exact days and times for each role. We have given you general information for the roles below.
