The concessions sale at the performances is our biggest fundraiser for the program. We ask that each family donate at least one dozen items pre-packaged and individually wrapped on both days of the performances that your child is in. More information is emailed prior to the show.
Although some of the main costumes are purchased by the Carol Stream Park District, it is necessary for parents and actors to contribute items to their own costumes. We send out a costume requirement paper with instructions on it.
If your actor has any special needs or you are requesting support from WDSRA (Western DuPage Special Recreation Association), include this information on your registration form. WDSRA requires a minimum of two weeks’ notice for inclusion support. Lack of information adversely affects the Carol Stream Park District’s ability to accommodate the needs of your child. Problems resulting from withheld information may necessitate the participant’s suspension from the program until appropriate accommodations can be made for a more successful experience.
Parent Volunteer Opportunities and Guidelines
In order to keep the cost of the program down, we require all parents to volunteer for a task during the theatre season. The volunteer form is due to the staff at auditions. If you do not provide your top three choices, we appoint you a position. We try our best to accommodate your top choices, however, all positions need to be filled.
We are often looking for previous cast members, ages 14 and over, to assist with rehearsals and performances. A Volunteer Background Check must be filled out and turned in before assisting.
You can volunteer for a task during your child’s performance or the opposite cast’s performance. PARENT VOLUNTEER LINK . Please email: theatre@csparks.org for any questions about the volunteer positions prior to the show.
Thank you in advance for your time and dedication to the theatre program. We could not achieve a successful performance without your efforts
Volunteer Prior to the Shows
Volunteer During the Shows
There is a playbill cover contest; actors can create a cover that could be featured on the weekend of their show’s playbill. There is one winner per cast. Instructions for the contest are distributed to participants at rehearsals.
