The Shell Theatre is a part of your community and your source for
culture in Fort Saskatchewan. Look beside you and see a neighbour
as part of our team. From ticket-takers to ushers our community
shines through volunteerism. We could not do what we do without
their tireless efforts in support of all of our events. Should you see a
volunteer at the Shell Theatre or the Alberta Lottery Fund Art Gallery
give them a high five for their support, or greet them with a smile
for being an essential part of our Shell Theatre Team. Thank you!
