Volunteers: This Is Your Big Top!
Article by Anne Olson, Volunteer Coordinator
Who is the first person you see when you come to a show at the tent? A Volunteer! Volunteers take your tickets at the
admissions gate, help you park your car, work at the merchandise tent, keep the grounds and facilities
clean, and help you find your seat when the band is about to start. In fact, every year nearly 300
volunteers help out at Big Top. Without them, the show simply would not go on.
At the heart of it all, Big Top Chautauqua isn’t a certain type of music, or its great location, or even a
tent. It’s people. All told, literally thousands. Volunteers, creative artists, donors, board members, staff
Steve
Yoshikane,
members, and attendees contribute because they are passionate about the creative arts and cultural
Volunteer
education in their community, and about
the magic they experience at Big Top.
We are grateful for their contributions
and their good company.
If you would like to join our
family of volunteers to help this
season or in a future season,
contact us at [phone] or visit
