Join us in sharing some joy! We are looking for volunteers to help usher at the music and fun filled interactive production In My Granny's Garden through June 26 at EarthDance Organic Farm School and Eckert’s Belleville Farm.

Performances at EarthDance and Eckert’s are in covered, open-air areas, with socially-distant pod seating. We like to refer to the pods as your “patch of grass.”

As an usher, you will greet families, guide them to pre and post-show activities, help them find a pod to sit, and any additional assistance the house manager and/or box office manager might need.

Inspired by the children’s book by acclaimed playwright and New York Times bestselling author Pearl Cleage and her husband, writer and director Zaron W. Burnett Jr., In My Granny’s Garden invites the youngest audiences to explore the glory of growing your own food. Watch a tiny seed become a field of corn, green beans, collard greens, and bright red tomatoes. Step into a visual feast inspired by world renowned artist Radcliffe Bailey’s original paintings, and discover the one superpower that fuels Granny’s garden. The play promises to leave the very young nourished in body and soul. In My Granny's Garden was commissioned by the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.

In My Granny’s Garden is recommended for children 0-8 and their grown-ups. Performance run time is approximately 40 minutes, with optional pre and post-performance activities.

Mask wearing is required for ages 2+ until they are seated in their pod. Proof of vaccination for audience members age 12+ is required with certain exceptions, see details. All MTC artists, production team members, volunteers, and staff are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

If you are interested in volunteering, complete this form or email McKinley Seale, mckinley@metroplays.org for more information. Thank you!
