We call our volunteers Arts Ambassadors. These ambassadors can:

  • Help with administrative tasks

  • Support "front of house" during events (pass out programs, sell concessions)

  • Host receptions and decorate for events

  • Build and paint set pieces

  • Lift heavy things

  • Join committees and offer strategic insight and help execute programs and events like our concert series and the Gala

  • Learn about and consider board service

PERFORMERS & CREW

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH: TRACI MCKENZIE

Traci McKenzie has been a fixture of The Arts Center for many years, both onstage in ACT and HBCS productions, and offstage as director, stage manager, set builder, and “Annie’s Mom” back in 2011.

In the past two years, Traci has brought us two noteworthy House Blend Concerts: “Look What You Made Us Do” and “Mic Drop: The Women Who Rule Music.”

Most recently, Traci was producer for ACT’s “Mean Girls,” where she found props, costumes, and set pieces, and just made sure everything got done.

Later this season, we will see her perform in “The Crucible,” direct “Gone 90s Country,” and stage manage “Ragtime.”

“Ragtime” director and AACA Operations Manager, Tyler Peaden, worked with Traci in ACT’s “9 to 5 The Musical” in 2025.

“Traci is a dream performer who takes direction well and breathes new life into predictable characters,” He said. “Her Doralee took my breath away each time I saw her.”

Tyler continued, “Traci is a jack of all trades around here, directing musicals & concerts, stage managing, acting & singing, and just jumping in when we need her: she truly is one of a kind. Traci is invaluable to our mission, both on and offstage, and I’m happy to call her my friend.”

Traci keeps busy around here, and we are so grateful for her hard work and dedication.

Join us in celebrating Traci, our September Volunteer of the Month!
