Looking for...

Wide Open is always looking for volunteers to earn free show tickets!

Usher at a show, build puppets with us or help us fundraise as a non profit company there is always something that could use an extra hand!  And as a bonus you'll earn a free ticket for every shift!

Supplies!  We're always on the lookout for felt and fleece scraps.  Time to clean out the craft/sewing cupboard?  Keep us in mind for that crafty  donation!
