RFTC’S GOT TALENT (a New Twist on The Old Members’ Show)
Saturday, July 25 Showtime 8:45pm

All the singing, dancing and laughing you got with the Old Members’ show but without the script. That means more room for more talent—or just more foolishness. Do you enjoy being on stage? If so, you’re just what the show needs. As always, “real” talent is welcome but definitely not mandatory! Sign up whenever you want. Rehearsals begin sometime prior to the actual show. “You see, this is a finely tuned machine that demands extensive preparation and precise execution.”

NEW MEMBERS’ SHOW
Saturday, September 26 Showtime 8:45pm

The RFTC “class” of 2009 carries on the tradition of providing an intelligent, energetic and utterly unabashed stage performance. “You’ll laugh, some will cry…” Be there to defend yourself.

 

It’s family friendly movies under the stars at RFTC. Club will supply
popcorn, ice cream & drinks. Bring your own blankets and chairs.
