Are you ready to help make the 8th My Furry Valentine Mega Adoption (August 18-19) our most successful event yet? Volunteers must attend the Volunteer Orientation scheduled for Thursday, August 16th from 6:00-8:00 PM at the Sharonville Convention Center. There are many tasks that we will need help with during the event including helping rescues…
Assist with the organization, promotion, and set up/tear down of events. Help a little or help a lot – every little bit counts!
Props are a unique technical element that require our props volunteers to be very creative. Sometimes we make props from scratch, other times we have to find them, and then there are times when we have to turn one thing into something else entirely to make it work for the stage. Volunteers will also help…
If you’re a socialite who loves mixing, mingling, and fun-filled events, then consider helping with our Cast Parties. Each Cast Party takes place a week or 2 after a performance, and since these events include food and drinks, you have plenty of tasks to choose from between planning, cooking/baking/grilling, setting up, serving, cleaning, or pouring!
Our ushers and box office staff make sure that our patrons are having the time of their lives as soon as they walk in the door. This team of volunteers are our guests’ first point of contact with the organization, so we need smiling faces, welcoming demeanors, and people who love to be around people!

Not every show has outrageous hair and make-up needs, but it comes up more often than you’d think. We start adding hair and make-up to our dress rehearsals the weekend before our productions run. These volunteers show up early to help the cast get ready, and they make sure to do any needed touch-ups at…
Our sets are a big part of what makes our productions as good as – and even better than – many professional theaters. These volunteers work on completing the set and preparing it for our move to the performance venue. Our set-building warehouse is located 2237 Losantiville Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45237 in Golf Manor.
The play selection committee reads scripts, makes recommendations, and looks for technical problem areas. If you love to read and have a good feel for stage productions, then lend us your eyes!
At the shelter, our cats need daily care and socialization, including cleaning their rooms, feeding, petting and socializing them. If you can provide a wonderful, temporary home for cats and kittens, OAR also uses foster homes. And if you’re a people-person, join a committee to help us with some of our annual fundraisers and marketing…
