Actor Volunteer Opportunity at Lougheed House

Actor Volunteer Opportunity at Lougheed House

Contact at Lougheed: Amanda

We (Lougheed House) utilize volunteers in our interpretation program; our interpreters dress in costume and lead tours around the Lougheed House, our Gardens, and the nearby areas.

We provide the costumes, and volunteers are encouraged to “make the tour their own” by telling whatever story about the house or the past that feels most important to them.

We are looking for actors who are interested in joining our volunteer team.

Please see the attached poster for further information.

Thank you.
