To all our RCT members:
COVID issues still dominate the news. The Arts industry is just now starting to begin to open with public in-person attendance at events. RCT is no exception as we already produced three performances of GODSPELL at a local Reading church. The remainder of the 2021 show season will consist of three performances of “NUNSENSE” at the Alsace Lutheran Church – 2201 Kutztown Road, Reading PA. 19605 in September and three performances of “GREASE” at the RACC Miller Center for the Performing Arts in December. Further details on “NUNSENSE can be found on our CURRENT SHOW tab. Also you can purchase tickets for “NUNSENSE” on our BUY TICKETS tab.
RCT is tentatively announcing our 2022 show season. RCT plans to produce Disney’s “Descendants” and “Guys and Dolls”. There is no defined time period for either show although our usual time frames are September and December. We are also considering a possible third show. Venues for the 2022 show season have not yet been determined.
Please continue to monitor the RCT web site for more information.
