The perks that come with volunteering are obvious. The satisfaction you get from helping a theater in your hometown provides great, live performance art, and getting to witness its splendor are fulfilling enough for most who are so inclined to give of themselves. But when you volunteer at the Touhill, there are a few more bonuses that come with the job. You'll have access to the Mark Twain Center, so you can get in a workout or a swim before your volunteer shift, or perhaps you're a Triton fan. Home games are free to you. Additionally, get a 25-percent discount on eye exams and eyeglasses, and a 10-percent discount at the campus bookstore. So if you are ready to enjoy some great theater, and maybe even a few more benefits, just fill out an easy online form and get ready to enjoy a great season of theater at the Touhill.
