Joan Sprague is a people person.
She has been volunteering since the opening of Johnson City s Schorr Family Firehouse Stage in 2007, working behind the concession stand. Up until last March, when the theater was shut down, you could spot her donning her red Firehouse Stage apron for every show and routinely laughing with patrons before and after the performance.
She says she thinks of the people and the staff at the theater as family, one that she has been without for some time. That s the beauty of volunteering, you re feeling like you re helping, but you re getting so much more than just helping the theater, Sprague said. I really just think people are ready for it to open back up.
