In the summer of 1989, a group of women from the Klamath Basin established a new support organization for the Ross Ragland Theater. The Ross Ragland Theater Guild is a volunteer service organization that supports the efforts of the Theater.  Since that time, the Guild has volunteered services for all the shows and events at the Theater, as well as many other projects that benefit the Theater.  Throughout its history, the Guild has supported the Theater and the community, participating in events such as the Snowflake Festival, gala celebrations, and fundraising events at the Theater, as well as numerous special projects that require volunteers.

Annually, the Guild provides over 3,000 hours of volunteer service to the Theater.  Our dedicated team provides the necessary personnel for ticket takers, concessions, OLCC-licensed alcohol servers, hospitality services, auditorium ushers, and merchandise sellers for each event at the Theater, among many other services.  Without the Guild, the Theater could not afford to staff all the many events that take place here.

Joining the Guild is easy. Membership is open to individuals 16 years of age or older. Members pay $20 annual membership dues; membership for students is free. There is currently no requirement to work a minimum number of hours, so Guild membership is very flexible to fit a variety of schedules. Members enjoy seeing an abundance of quality shows during the Theater season, as well as attending our annual Membership Meeting (generally a potluck dinner) and our annual Holiday Dinner Party, served by the Ragland Board of Directors while we decorate the lobby Christmas tree! The Guild has many long-standing members due to their love of the Theater and the enjoyment that comes from volunteer service, as well as making many friends who share the same passion for theater!   Sandy Couch, Sandy Glick, and Barbara Roufs-Massey have been active Guild members since its inception in 1989! We also have Associate Guild members who pay annual dues of $40 but do not work at the shows; however, they are invited to special events and show their support of the Theater through financial contributions.
