The best way to become involved
with us is to simply get yourself involved. Come to a Company
Meeting and volunteer to help out on something, so that we can get to know
you! (Our Company Meetings are always
listed on our Calendar of Events, or you
may . For more information about membership, .)
Membership is by invitation only; however, our company meetings and our
casting policy are open, and you do not need to be a member to
participate. Membership is for those who would like to have a voice in
the artistic direction of the company, and want to help us create theater,
both your own projects and the projects of others.
Invitations to membership are extended quarterly. If you accept your
invitation, you are immediately made a member of Sacred Fools, with all its
privileges and responsibilities.
PLEASE NOTE: Sacred Fools is a
non-dues-paying Company!Interested so far? If so...
