Join our Board of Directors

The Magic Moments Board of Directors is looking for 2 enthusiastic folks to join our leadership team. If you are passionate about diversity in theatre we’d love to have you join us.

2nd Vice President – Head of Sales & Marketing

We are searching for a strong leader to join as the 2nd Vice President with primary responsibility for heading up our Sales & Marketing Committee. Experience with sales or marketing, especially in a theatre context, is strongly desired but not required. The most important requirements are strong leadership skills and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get to work helping us build up a committee of folks who are passionate about promoting Magic Moments to the wider Colorado community and driving our box office success.

Treasurer

We are also searching for someone with financial acumen to help us keep our books and manage our banking and bill paying. Accounting or bookkeeping backgrounds are a major plus, as is experience with Quickbooks, but if you’re comfortable with computers and numbers and willing to learn, we can teach you everything you need to know to do the job. 

If you or someone you know is interested in one of these roles, please reach out to president@magicmomentsinc.org. We look forward to talking to you!

Other Volunteering Opportunities
If you don’t think either of these positions is right for you, we would still love to have your help doing the important work that keeps Magic Moments going. Fill in our Volunteer Signup Form online anytime to let us know how you’d like to get involved.

Thanks and Awe

One of the things Magic Moments inspires in me is consistent feelings of awe over what people can accomplish. I’m awed over the incredible talent exhibited by our cast members year after year. I’m awed by the strength of spirit our actors show in their refusal to be held back by their disabilities, their limitations, and their experiences. I’m awed by the incredible amount of love and care our community shows to each other at all times in so many amazing, wonderful ways.

Yesterday I found a new reason to feel the kind of awe only Magic Moments inspires. This time that awe was inspired by each and every one of you who contributed to support us during this year’s Colorado Gives campaign. Because of your passion and commitment, we were able to make this the best Colorado Gives Day we’ve ever had

And this wasn’t just the best Colorado Gives Day we’ve ever had by a couple of dollars. It wasn’t even the best Colorado Gives Day we’ve ever had by a couple hundred dollars. Yesterday was the best Colorado Gives Day we’ve ever had by several THOUSAND more dollars than we have raised in any other year.

I. Am. In. Awe.

But then, I should be used to that by now with Magic Moments.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us during this year’s Colorado Gives Fundraiser. We literally would not be here without the financial support of our community members. It means so much to me and to everyone on the board to feel this level of love and passion from all of you.

You all are the beating heart that makes Magic Moments special. It is a privilege to get to be part of this community with you.

With awe and love and many thanks,

Cat Scheer

Covid Protocols for the 2022 Show

Dear Magic Moments Community,

We are thrilled with the opportunity to return in 2022 for another year of our beloved production,
but we recognize that the world is a different place than it was the last time we were all together.
Safety is the number one priority for Magic Moments and with the size of our cast and crew as well
as the vulnerability of some of our performers, the Board of Directors and Production Staff have
reviewed state and local recommendations to create the safest COVID-19 policy we possibly can.
These safety protocols are consistent with other theaters in the Denver metro area and across the
country. We hope that by implementing these extraordinary measures, we will be part of the global
effort to slow down the spread of the virus in the future.

Participants

In accordance with Colorado State, Jefferson and Arapahoe Counties and CDC recommendations, we
will require all staff, actors, musicians, crew, and volunteers, 12 and older, to be fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 before attending rehearsals at Waterstone Church and performances at Littleton
High School. In addition, following suit with the major theatres around the city, state, and country,
we will now require proof of vaccination. This is for the safety of our cast, crew, staff and volunteers.

Accommodations are still being considered for potential exemptions (i.e. those with a medical
condition that prevents vaccination). Details about accommodations, along with the process to verify
vaccine information, will be announced by October.

During rehearsals, masks are required for all Staff, Actors, Crew, and Volunteers except during a
break while eating a snack in designated areas only. Food and beverages will not be permitted inside
the rehearsal spaces.

In rehearsals, actors who are currently singing/speaking may remove their mask but maintain a
minimum distance of 6 feet from anyone not currently “on stage”. All those not actively “on stage”
rehearsing must continue to wear a mask at all times and maintain a space of 6 feet from the “stage
area”.

The COVID Protocols for those actors 12 and under are currently under review.

Unlike previous years, this year all Magic Moments’ rehearsals will be closed to anyone not directly
needed for rehearsals.

Performance Protocols Statement

The COVID Protocols for Tech Week and Performances for all cast, crew, staff, and backstage
volunteers will be clarified as we get closer to those dates. These will be in accordance not only with
the state, county, and CDC recommendations but also with those of the Littleton Public School
District as the owners of the venue in which we will perform.

Health and safety measures are subject to change – so please check our website for updates before
you attend any rehearsals.

Patrons

In accordance with Colorado State, Jefferson and Arapahoe Counties and CDC recommendations we
will require all patrons, 12 and older, to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before attending
performances at Littleton High School. In addition, following suit with the major theatres around the
city, state, and country, we will now require proof of vaccination before entering the theater. Those
who are unable to receive the vaccination (for example, children under the age of 12) must instead
provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of your performance start time.
Masks are required for all audience members two and older and will be available upon request of
ushers and security personnel. Audience members must wear masks unless enjoying refreshments in
designated areas. Food and beverages will not be permitted inside the theatre.

This is for the safety of our audience as well as our cast, crew, staff and volunteers.

Health and safety measures are subject to change – so please check our website for updates before
you attend our performances.

Thank you-

Ted Kuenz, Board President
KQ Quintana, Artistic Director
The Board of Directors
