Welcome to the Online Home of "The Saints"

The Saints is an organization of volunteers for the performing arts.  At the present time our 1850+ members serve over eighty of the Chicago and suburban theater, dance and music organizations.  

The Saints members provide help to the above groups for a variety of activities including ushering at performances and get to attend these activities and performances at no charge.  Members choose the venues and performances where they want to volunteer, as often or as seldom as they like.

The Saints also award monetary grants to not-for-profit performing arts organizations located in Chicago and the surroundings neighborhoods.  An application form can be found on these pages.  

The Saints hold General Membership Meetings several times a year.  These meetings offer members the opportunity to learn more about the organization and its affairs, meet and socialize with other members and to participate in interesting presentations given by famous personalities from the performing arts community. The Saints members also receive a monthly newsletter, "Spotlight", which lists numerous volunteering opportunities.  These opportunities are updated three times a week via e-mail to all members.  A 24 hour telephone hot-line also lists these updates. 

The Saints is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable corporation and donations to The Saints are tax-deductible (membership fees are not donations)!  

In summary, the Saints, for the cost of a nominal yearly membership fee, is the best deal in town.  Learn more about us and explore our history here!
