Volunteer at Smyrna Opera House

As a non-profit organization, the Smyrna Opera House relies on the assistance of a dedicated and active volunteer base. The Guild is the main Opera House volunteer group, consisting of an enthusiastic and hard-working corps of individuals. Were it not for the dedication and service of these Guild members, the Opera House would not be where it is today.

The purpose of The Guild shall be:

• Establish the Smyrna Opera House as the premiere arts center in central Delaware
• To promote good public relations between the Smyrna Opera House and the community
• To render volunteer services to the Smyrna Opera House when requested
• Maintain the form and functions of the Smyrna Opera House

The Guild meets the first Wednesday of every month at 1:00 p.m. in the Opera House auditorium. Interested in joining us? Fill out the registration form or call us at (302) 653-4236.
