Discovery Parties at Des Moines Performing Arts
What
Volunteers will be asked to greet guests, provide directions, help with art stations (minimal "messiness" expected) and provide general assistance throughout the event.
When
1.5 hours before the performance to 15 minutes after the show has started. 2 hours and 15 minutes total commitment
Discovery Parties take place in the hour prior to a public performance in the Civic Center lobbies and are intended to provide young audiences and their families with interactive experiences that are culturally and/or thematically tied to the performance they will attend. Guests will be invited to explore, learn and create. Each Discovery Party is unique to the performance it precedes. Volunteers will be asked to greet guests, provide directions, help with art stations (minimal “messiness” expected) and provide general assistance throughout the event. The time commitment for volunteers is 2.25 hours + the performance time, which we hope you will stay and enjoy.
Watch children for duration of the meeting. Crafts are provided to those that want to participate in crafts.
