Showtime on Ice Subcommittees

Showtime on Ice requires a lot of help behind the scenes. Work on costumes, program business ads, ways & means, and more.

We have the BEST family of volunteers! Here is Renet Greer showing off the iconic prop for the 2023 production of Seussical!

Welcome! Showtime on Ice is a not-for-profit venture that is a subsidiary of the Denver Colorado Figure Skating Club. Aside from our Directors and Choreographers, the entire show is put on by parent and community volunteers.

We do expect all families to volunteer at least eight hours of their time to the show. There are numerous jobs that need to be filled before, during, and after the show.

Volunteers are the backbone of this show, and your dedicated time will ensure that our kids have the best show experience possible!
