Volunteer

Take your turn in the spotlight

At Coal Creek Theater of Louisville, we are deeply grateful for our dedicated volunteers—local theater lovers who donate their time, skills, and enthusiasm to help make every performance a success. Without their passion and dedication, community theater wouldn’t be possible.
