Richardson Children's Theatre

Let your voice be heard. Support Repertory Company Theatre/Richardson Children's Theatre's mission to bring the best in Broadway to our community. Your support will go directly to fund the 2024-2025 Season Shows including: SISTER ACT (July 19-August 4, 2024), SHERLOCK HOLMES- HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Sept 6-15), LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (October 11-27), A CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE MUSICAL (December 20-22), GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER (Feb 14-16, 2025), DOLLY PARTON'S 9 TO 5 (April 11-19, 2025), LEGALLY BLONDE (June 20-29, 2025) and SOUTH PACIFIC (July 18- August 3, 2025).

For thirty eight years, RCT has been entertaining and engaging the Richardson/Plano/North Dallas area with top-notch productions of both classic plays and Broadway musicals. Featuring a multi talented REP Company of actors, and benefiting from innovative and skillful direction and leadership, the theatre's productions have regularly received the admiration and praise of both audiences and critics. In addition, RCT’s year-round workshops and classes have nurtured and educated thousands of children.

Given this strength of quality and reputation, people are often surprised to learn that the theatre is a nonprofit. But it's true. Tickets and tuitions raise only 60% of our annual budget. The remaining 40% must come from the community we serve. Funds are needed each season to pay for costumes, sets, production personnel, utilities, rent, performance rights and publicity. We depend on you to make the season shine.

We are asking for your help. See the donor information below for ways to get involved. Please contact us if you have any questions. Your contribution will bring hours of fine entertainment and will help the talented cast and crew of Repertory Company Theatre to continue enriching the cultural life of our community.

Repertory Company Theatre/Richardson Children's Theatre

Rising costs and inflation have drastically affected RCT's annual budget. Overhead costs are depleting our programming funds. A New Day Campaign needs to raise $40,000 by December 31 to pay for our season programming. Your contribution will support RCT's mission to engage, educate and entertain the community we serve through quality, local theatre arts.

Because program revenue covers approximately half our costs, Repertory Company Theatre relies on your contributions to produce each season. The main stage shows and year-round theatre arts education exist only through the generous support of individuals, businesses and foundations.

Your donation provides funding for the following...

MAIN STAGE SHOWS: This season RCT will present 9 main stage shows including audience favorites (White Christmas, It's A Wonderful Life, Guys & Dolls), shows straight from Broadway (Sweeney Todd, Bonnie & Clyde) and an Agatha Christie Series (And The There Were None, The Spider's Web). RCT has expanded the season to include two venues, RCT Promenade Theatre-Coit Road and The Courtyard Theatre-Plano, to better serve our audiences.

THEATRE ARTS EDUCATION FOR YOUTH: RCT provides year-round workshops and classes for ages 8-18. Students receive hands-on training in everything from beginning to advanced theatre arts and are taught by professionals with a focus on the development of imagination, communication skills, collaborative problem solving and performance techniques.

RCT is an important asset to our community. RCT provides experiences that foster empathy and collective sense of humanity which strengthens our community and makes it a better place to live and work. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
