Volunteering

We are currently looking for volunteer ushers and front of house staff for our upcoming shows. You get to help people check in and find their seats, and then you get to watch the show for free. If you volunteer multiple days then we will also give you a free ticket for a friend. Please fill out this form to sign up! You may also email us if you have any questions or would like to help in some other way.

Also if you want to join us to help clean, fix plumbing or electrical or other maintenance issues, or even just provide guidance, please reach out to us.

Donations

We've already made a ton of progress, but we still need finacial support to help us get through these trying times, so any contributions you can donate would be incredibly helpful!

We are certified 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization, so any donations you make are tax deductible.

With your help we can bring the Great Star back to its former glory, and run a nonprofit community theater San Francisco Chinatown can be proud of!

How to donate

The best way to support us is to become a patron on Patreon. If you make a monthly contribution of at least $5 then you get some great perks, including a shout-out on our page and signage, early access to shows, and even more. We also have fancy exclusive memberships for those of you who would like to give (and get) even more.

Become a Patron!
