New director Don James is directing our next show! Its a crazy farce based on the traditional Dickens’ Christmas Carol. Think you don’t have what it takes to mount one of the classics? That’s OK! These crazy characters will make all of us look like we know what we are doing! Come out to auditions for this hilarious, slapstick version on an old favorite.
September 17 & 18 from 6:30-9:00 at the theatre, with callbacks on Wednesday the 19th.
Thank you Carol for your work!

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.
One of our cast members has submitted this word of thanks to all who participated. It has been a true joy to work on the play and bring this story to life here at RCLT!
Come out and enjoy Hello Dolly: the music is a joy and so are the delightful characters on stage. Be sure to thank our sponsors for supporting this show: Paul’s Vet Supply, Maupin and Brown Dentistry, Roswell Toyota, and Maurice Geldert. Also thank Rick Kraft for doing the voice of Ephraim Levi. What a great community we live in. I was truly impressed by the number of Dolly Cast that auditioned for the next play Willy Wonka. The attached photo is of the feed store scene created by our set designer Terry Hecht. For tickets or call 622-1982. You can still use season tickets for this play – $45.00 for 4 adults…it a good deal.
Thank you all that help RCLT bring theatre to life. You are making a difference in the lives of young and older people. We have 11 people on stage that have never been in live theatre on stage before…some in major roles. We have 2 community band members (Mark Salas and Elijah Baltazar) playing music for us plus Kathy Cook and Berkeley Dittmann playing who recruited them. We have 9 cast members who have auditioned for the next play some with their children. We have 1 entire family on our stage who came to support their youngest who wants to be on stage. I love how families can play together in the theater. I love how the back stage crew makes the on stage crew look good by rapid set changes. The team work needed to produce a play will live with these people – leading to future skills that benefit Roswell. Thanks again. Carol Bignell
