Theatre at R-MA

We have a dynamic, dedicated group of students partaking of our theatre program. In our upper school program, approximately 30 actors and technicians participate per year presenting two plays. Over 400 patrons view these events in either our Little Theatre or on the road. Our Little Theater, which is housed in the basement of Melton Gymnasium, comfortably seats 75 patrons for any one production.   Typically, the plays are presented on two evenings during Family Weekends in both the fall and spring seasons so family members can enjoy the talents of our actors and actresses. Sometimes, we bring the play to the community, such as the local public elementary school or senior center.

Recent productions include: The Road Taken, The Open Road (one-act plays), Alice in Wonderland, Greater Tuna, The Taming of the Shrew, and Twelve Angry Men.

Play practices are during the intramural period after school between 4:00-5:30 pm. Students become very involved, both in willingness to try various acting roles and in organizing a technical aspect of the play like props, lighting, or costumes.  Students actively learn many aspects of what it entails to produce a play.

Please contact Ms. Kim Cramer if you have any questions about our program. Ms. Quinn has been the director of our theatre program for three years. New students are always welcome as performers and technicians. The only requirement is a willingness to work hard and to have fun.
