First Seen: We're making a play for tomorrow.

Production Assistance: When we are planning productions, First Seen will identify volunteer jobs that we will need. Please tell us your interests and whether you are available before the production (sets, costumes), during the production (props, costume changes, lighting, sound), or after the production (striking the set).

Administrative Assistance: We can always use administrative help. Do you have an interest in being the First Seen Historian? What about working on Development (obtaining money)? Are you willing to address or stuff envelopes? Would you like to solicit ads for our play bills? Tell us what you would like to do.

Financial Assistance: Like all theater groups, we need money to put on our productions. A staged reading costs around $300 to $500, depending on the number of actors and the theatre space rented. A full production can cost up to $25,000. Proceeds from ticket sales cover only 35-40% of the costs of a production. In April 2004, we were awarded a Theatre Bay Area (TBA) grant to help put on the workshop of "To Hades and Back (Again)". Even with support like this, we still need your help. Are you willing to help us obtain money? Would you like to write grants? Work in Development?
