Get Involved
Join the team of volunteers that make our summer season possible.
Hope Theatre Guild
The Hope Theatre Guild was founded in 1980. Its members support Hope Summer Repertory
Theatre (HSRT) by enhancing the theatre experience for the HSRT company and Holland
community through service, outreach and financial support. This is a great way to
help support HSRT and an opportunity to meet members of the HSRT company and community.
You may join the Theatre Guild by downloading and completing the Guild Packet (due by Wednesday, May 11, for ushering assignments) or contacting the Hope Ticket Office (616.395.7890) after May 15. If you have questions or would like more information,
please email HSRT.
- Ushering
- Greet audience members, hand out programs, help people to their seats and stay to watch the performance for free! As the first point of contact for our patrons entering the theatre, guild members help us make lasting impressions from start to finish of a performance.
- Food for Starving Artists
- Help lift spirits during busy periods by bringing treats (brownies, fruit, cheese and crackers, veggies and dip, etc.) to our hard-working artists throughout the season. This is especially important in the week prior to each opening.
- Adopt an Intern
- Welcome our interns to Holland by “adopting” them. Provide treats, flowers, signs or anything that might make them feel welcome. Additionally, you become a resource to the intern class for all things Holland while they are here for the season.
- Young Guild
- If you are 12–17, you can support the theatre through ushering, social media and spreading the magic of HSRT throughout your community. Young Guild members receive a season t-shirt and “Bring a Friend to the Theatre” pass.
Membership should be sent to:
