At the risk of sounding like some PSA with Tom Menino and Big Papi reading awkwardly from a prompter ... Volunteering is a great way to get involved! You get a peek behind the scenes of your favorite arts org and usually enjoy at least a taste of whatever event you're supposed to be helping run. Plus you're part of it, rather than on the outside looking in. Now MASS MoCA in North Adams is looking for more warm bodies to work at its many concerts, contemporary gallery shows, dance & film & theater events and more. "Responsibilities include: directing crowds, answering specific questions of event attendees, distributing programs and ticket taking. Volunteers help regularly with ushering at weekly outdoor (weather permitting) or indoor performing arts events." And those courtyard events are serious fun; we saw Patti Smith there a few years ago and stood about ten feet away the whole show, without the insane crush that would have resulted here in the city. If you live out that way or are heading there for the summer, email Meredith Boggia at volunteermassmoca@gmail.com.
