R2P Needs Your Support:
Did you know: Between renting a theater, licensing scripts, building scenery, and paying our professional artists and technicians, it costs R2P around $20,000 to produce a show?
R2P is committed to keeping the joys of live theatre accessible to everyone – but we can’t do it without the support of our community. When registering, you may select free tickets – or tickets with built-in donations at a variety of levels. At checkout, you also will have the option of adding a donation of any amount.
Thank you for helping us keep the doors open wide to every child and family in our community.
