Westben’s Volunteer Coordinator Sandy Robertson and her team inspire and coordinate over 250 volunteers. The first face a Westben patron sees is probably a volunteer, helping them to park their car, greeting them, taking their tickets, showing them their seats or purchasing a glass of wine or beer or an ice-cream at intermission. As well there are volunteers behind the scenes, backstage, costumes, artist hospitality as well as maintenance of the grounds at the performance venues.
Volunteers are an essential and delightful part of the Westben experience. Volunteering has its rewards as well, experiencing Westben first hand, learning something new and being part of a great group of people.

Our artists come from all across Canada, North America and even Europe, and need accommodation while they are rehearsing and performing. Billeting with local families not only cuts down on the expense of an artist’s visit, it also enhances the experience for both host and artist. In fact, many friendships have evolved over the seasons. Being a host involves bed and breakfast and is usually for two nights. There are some longer terms for our educational residency programs and during the week of broadway shows.
If you are interested in adding your name to our billeting list, please contact westben@westben.ca.
