2. IT’S A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION
The Oak Ridge Community Playhouse has a few paid staff, but is primarily a volunteer organization. As a community theater, volunteer opportunities are almost always available!

4. ALL SEATS ARE GOOD SEATS

Although all seating still needs to be reserved, you don’t have to be concerned about getting a “bad” seat.
