WWAOS
I have been a member of Walton & Weybridge Amateur Operatic Society for a number of years, and - singing aside - have been able to use a number of these skills on a voluntary basis to support shows, drive ticket sales and promote the society.
This includes founding the first ever fundraising Cabaret evening, which is now one of the primary sources of re​venue for the society, as well as designing posters and marketing material for selected shows, social media marketing, and (my favourite part) photographing the performances.
