SEASON TICKETS
Tickets for our 1998-99 season are on sale. Each $13 ticket entitles you to admission to each of our three shows. For dinner theatre in the summer of 1999, an additional dinner charge will be made for those wishing dinner.
Purchasing a season ticket will save you money. At the door admission cost is $6 per show, or $18 for the season. So, a season ticket saves you $5.
Too, you’ll get the Behind the Scenes quarterly, have an exclusive two-week period to make reservations for shows where reservations are required, and make us very happy.
It makes us happy because we can better calculate our annual budget based upon season tickets rather than wait to see how many people show up at the door wanting single admissions.
Anyway, tickets can be purchased by returning the Season Ticket Order Form, calling our office number, 785-483-4057, and leaving a message, or by contacting anyone involved with RCT.
Breath of Spring
Our fall production of Breath of Spring has been cast and rehearsals have begun. Join us in looking forward to seeing the cast in the following roles;
Bee......................Teressa Roe;
Alice....................Judy Arthur;
Brigadier................Rick Eggert;
Nan...................Terry Crenshaw;
Hattie................Taunya Lindahl;
Lily.....................Sheryl Krug;
Pape....................Dave Baldwin;
Kemp....................Mike DeMarco;
Everyone should love this cute comedy which will be presented October 6-10, 1998, at 8:00 P.M. at Ruppenthal Middle School Auditorium.
When Lily steals a fur as a gift for Dame Beatrice, she inadvertently starts "Bee" and her lodgers scheming to steal from the rich and give to the poor. While the results are predictable, the journey to the end is filled with both genteel humor and manic activity.
Admission is by season ticket or by admission at the door for $6.00. There are no reserved seats.
Join us and have a rollicking good time.

The Odd Couple
Congratulations go to Carol Dawson and the cast of The Odd Couple for a very funny show. And, we sold out. We actually had to turn folks away. And that makes us sad.
Because optimum seating per show is 92, we know that even some attending had trouble seeing. And that also makes us sad.
But from talking with many attending, a pretty good time was had, and the show was very well received.
So, thanks again to Carol and cast and thanks to all of you who came.
Spotlight On...
Rick Gates never really receives recognition for his very real role in the success of RCT. When he was recently elected to our theatre’s Board of Directors, it brought to mind his numerous other contributions. Rick’s been a big help in set building and lighting, and he’s also stage-managing and served as an assistant director. Besides that, he acted in A Piece of My Heart. But Rick’s most important contribution is his willingness to help out on whatever needs to be done. People like Rick are our most valuable assets. We extend a, perhaps, belated "thank you" and hope you'll do the same.
