Welcome
For each of the years that I have been President of RMRT I have worked hours to prepare a President’s message that fills half a page in each years playbill. My guess is that only a quarter of you read
that message in its entirety. This year I have decided to keep it very simple and therefore I have four
things to tell you.
1. We, the Board of Trustees and our Staff, work very hard 12 months of the year to bring you the
best in musical theatre.
2. We truly appreciate your support (in whatever form that may be) for without you this not-forprofit organization could not exist.
3. We are very glad that you joined us today, to sit amongst your friends, as part of our RMRT family.
RMRT
President
4. We hope you Enjoy the Show!
49 and counting.........
Judy K. Jensen - President RMRT
Our Mission

Whoever they are and wherever they come from, they form a community...we form a community. Two decades ago, when I started with RMRT,
I loved being part of this little theatrical community — I still do, and it
was much smaller then. Now, Jeff and I have the privilege of putting this
community together. We choose the best directors and designers in the
country. We choose the finest actors and musicians to perform for you
for “letting us to do the work that we love to do in this most beautiful
place on Earth.”
As we enjoy our 49th year this season, we are greatly anticipating our
big 50th Anniversary Golden Celebration in 2017. I thank you so much

For 49 years, RMRT has strived for the highest levels of artistic
excellence, assembling elite, professional talent from over 1,200
national auditions to bring you a summer to cheer for!
Mountain
Our goal is to provide fine theatre at affordable prices, knowing that
doing so provides a positive aesthetic to our patrons and community,
and impacts local economies. Last season, 19,000 people came to
our wonderful town to go to the theatre — their non-theatre
expenditures bringing valuable revenue to local businesses.

Ticket sales only support 58% of our general operating budget. As
we celebrate another summer, we are counting on your generosity
to continue to fill that 42% operating budget void. Every donation,
of any size, makes a tremendous difference. As a thank you for your
generous gift, we’ll continue to produce the quality theatre you’ve
come to expect from RMRT. Quite simply, it is not possible to do
what we do without you.
