Have Some Fun! Volunteer!

Volunteering at Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center is a great way to get involved and help your local community! It takes many hands to put on an event at SMPAC, and because we are a non-profit organization, we rely on our volunteers throughout the season. From set up, tear down, and beverage service, to directing cars and taking tickets, our volunteers play an integral role in SMPAC’s success. Plus, you'll get to see some amazing entertainment! Click a button below to get started.
