  • Waiver of Liability: This document outlines the nature of voluntary engagement with The Classic Center. In summary, it acknowledges your responsibility for behavior and general risks while volunteering at The Classic Center.

Background check paperwork will be processed by The Classic Center’s Human Resources Department. Any concerns about the process or results should be directed to the Theatre Manager, who will confidentially work with Human Resources to determine appropriate advisement. Please note that not all incidents on background reports are grounds for dismissal from the program.
