The Dreamland Theater has no prescribed dress code for our volunteers. We only ask that your dress “the part”, use the audience that will be attending the screening or event as your guide (no jeans please). We will supply a name tag when volunteering.
Bringing a Guest
Volunteers are not permitted to bring guests to screenings or events during their assigned hours. If you would like to bring a guest, they may either sign up to volunteer or simply purchase a ticket to the screening or event.
Artist Privacy
During special events or performances volunteers are not permitted to disturb or interact with the guest artist(s). Volunteers are not allowed backstage or in the greenroom unless instructed by management. Proceeding the event or performance, volunteers may “meet & greet” the artist with other patrons in the main lobby if artist agrees. As a Dreamland volunteer, you represent the theater and we expect that you conduct and exchange any interaction with the artist with courtesy and professionalism.
