Co-Produced with Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre
We’re looking for volunteers to help audiences experience a one-of-a-kind theatre journey through Bunbury.
BREC is seeking warm, calm Volunteer Audience Guides for This is where…, a guided walking theatre experience created from real stories shared by Bunbury locals and performed in the streets and places where they happened.
As a Volunteer Audience Guide, you’ll escort a small audience group along a set route through the Bunbury CBD, helping keep everyone safe, on time, and connected to the flow of the experience. This is not a commentary role – your presence should be subtle and supportive, allowing the show to lead.
Training takes place in early March, with rehearsals and performances in April (two performances per day). A small honorarium and BREC ticket benefits are included.
