Only with theater types would this scam work-- PAYING to take part, PAYING for the tickets themselves. I guess it's what's known as a "vanity production"? What a racket!

They'd be in desperate need of people willing to go door to door to collect some money for the petting zoo and when I handed my tin in, they accused me of stealing from it. Fortunately I had the papers to prove that the tin that had been tampered with wasn't mine. Or the time they didn't have anyone to feed the animals on christmas eve and I offered, then was stood up. Mind this was a fairly desolate area near a harbor and I was a young girl. But they obviously didn't value the safety of kids too much there; a homeless alcoholic they were allowing to sleep in one of the sheds turned out to be a pedo. Good times.

Or sell and pay for a set number of tickets. What a jackass. I’ve done a lot of community theater, all volunteer, and I’ve never heard of a theater that forced its actors to pay to be in a show.

But haven't we all done something or gotten ourselves in situations that we later realize "holy crap, that internship was real left turn there, eh?" It's what makes the MVW jobs, dates and roommate stories cringe worthy. who knows why she didn’t…who knows why anyone here doesn’t.

Volunteer work is on YOUR terms (within reason of course). Most places would be happy to get the free help. Why would you put up with that crap? I don’t get it.
