Mac is a cherished member of RCTC’s volunteer community

Mac is a cherished member of RCTC’s volunteer community. Since the company’s inception, she has taken on a variety of roles both onstage and offstage. Most notably, you can see Mac helping audience members with tickets and welcoming everyone to the theatre as the Front-of-House Manager.

When asked what motivates her to continue volunteering with RCTC, Mac shared that witnessing the children grow up—especially through our pantomime shows—and later bringing their own kids to the theatre brings her a special kind of joy to witness.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mac for her hard work and dedication to RCTC.
