Maudslay is Haunted is more silly and spooky than scary, so we welcome friends of all ages to participate! We just ask that any volunteers under 12 have a chaperone with them during rehearsals and performances to keep everyone comfortable and cared for while performing.

Our first rehearsal is Saturday, September 28th from 1 - 3 pm at the Gatehouse, 1 Spring Ln. in Newburyport.

If you are only interested in volunteering during the performance weekend (box office, merchandise, refreshments, etc.) you will not need to attend any weekend meetings. We will have a Zoom check-in the week prior to the event.
