Pam, I do a lot of volunteering at my local community theatre, but it’s all either backstage (lights, sound, props, set construction, ASM) or as an actor. But I will never, ever serve on the Board of Directors. I know people who are on the Board, and I could never stand the kind of petty politics, empire building, and turf wars that they have to deal with. I volunteer at the theatre because I enjoy it, and I would HATE being a board member. (Not that anyone has asked me — and I hope they never do.)
