Keep watching for more information on our 60 Anniversary Diamond Jubilee! Here’s a little history of our theatre provided by Carol Bignell. Thank you for caring for our historical records!
The Beginning of RCLT
1939 – Zelma & Paul McEvoy formed a touring company (Roswell Players) & produced musical variety shows & melodramas, going to rural schools.
WWII
1947 Roswell players reformed and produced “You Can’t Take It With You”.
KBIM-TV aired live programs each Sunday afternoon produced by a small but determined group of local actors.
Roswell Little Theater grew with the influx of Personnel into Walker Air Force Base & they began searching for a permanent home.
1958-9
Constitution developed and approved for RCLT
We’ve come a long way! Come celebrate with us August 18 at the Country Club. A wonderful dinner will be served with entertainment. The play “The Curse of the Hopeless Diamond” will be presented and your dinner ticket will get you a chance for a beautiful diamond necklace from Bullock’s Jewelry.
