Redford Theatre
	Volunteer Artists
	The Redford Theatre is operated by an all-volunteer staff. This volunteer spirit has enabled us to accomplish many things that would have been impossible without countless hours of volunteer labor. During all of our public shows, every worker in the building is donating his or her time to serve our audiences. In addition to the ticket takers, concession workers, stage and projection booth crews who keep things going when we are open to the public, there is a small army of people who perform maintenance and restoration tasks at the theatre on a daily basis. We're proud of the level of volunteerism shown by MCTOS members.  Naturally, as a theatre organ society, we especially cherish members who share their musical talents with us and our audiences.The Motor City Theatre Organ Society is fortunate to have a number of talented volunteers who play at the Redford Theatre. These artists provide music for our movie series and club events.

	Dave Calendine Dave is a talented performer from Ohio who regularly visited Detroit to donate his time to entertain our movie audiences. Dave has recently moved to the Detroit area and has become active in the operation of the Redford Theatre.
