Rutland Youth Theatre is a program run largely by volunteers, supportive local businesses, and Rutland's Recreation and Parks Department. It truly takes a village and we simply could not do this without collective support and community collaboration. There are many ways to support our program and we hope you will consider making a donation (below) or simply coming out to show your support and enjoy a show!
