River City Players River City Players Community Theater. However, as in all artistic endeavors, talent, desire, fortitude and dreams are not enough.

Providing Southeastern Ohio and surrounding area with theatrical opportunities for performers and audience members of all ages. The River City Players (RCP) is a group of dedicated local individuals who, through their hard work, talents and tireless efforts bring quality theatrical presentations to our under-served corner of Appalachia. Despite being an itinerant troupe, as there are no actual the

aters in our county, RCP members' love of the performing arts provides us the impetus to continually create productions of a higher standard. If you are a lover of the theater, whether comedy, drama or the musical stage, then you too can play and integral part in bringing the arts to Appalachia. If you "tread the boards", sing, dance or prefer working behind the scenes, there is a place for you at RCP. Even if you possess little of the above talents, your support as a valued, regular member of the audience is essential to the success of our organization.

Are you new to Oklahoma? That’s OK!

We are having auditions on May 31st from 5-8 p.m. We would love to see you there! This show will take place on August 29 and 30.

Please be prepared to sing a song of your choosing and read sides from the script. If you would like to submit a video audition, please contact Brian Howard.

Below are a description of the plot and information about the lead characters!

In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.
