Steve Hamel has been volunteering in the York Schools for over 13 years! He began helping when his daughters became involved with theater in elementary school. His daughters have both now graduated and Steve continues to volunteer countless hours to York Schools Drama Program. Steve focuses his talents behind the scenes in our York Community Auditorium, providing the technical direction for all of the York High Drama and Middle School productions and also for the York Parks and Rec productions. Theater is a hobby that Steve loves and he also enjoys performing in seacoast area productions. He is passionate about the lighting, sound and projections he creates with the amazing equipment that the YCA offers.The York Schools Volunteer Program thanks Steve for the hundreds of hours given each year to support enrichment in the York Schools.
When we asked Steve why he does it and what he enjoys about it he said:
“The student actors & techs I work with put so much of themselves into each production….they are inspiring! Working with these young people over years and seeing them grow as performers brings me real joy. In return, I want to ensure they have a great experience and that the theater tech helps them put on a top notch performance. Also, the team of volunteers I get to work with are wonderful! There is so much that goes into a successful production and it couldn't be done without the other volunteers and the whole crew of parents that support live theater in York, I love working with them!”
