Rockwall Summer Musicals (RSM) is a theatre company formed for the purpose of producing plays and conducting intergenerational theatrical workshops from May through August each year. The unique RSM “mentoring” instructional approach, pairing students with working artisans in the community, provides an educational experience that cannot be reproduced in the classroom. In light of shrinking funding for the arts, these efforts help subsidize the educational needs of area students interested in theatre arts. During each school year, RSM prepares for the next summer season, including fundraising, reading and selecting plays, marketing, and seeking additional instructional opportunities. RSM’s productions are funded by business, corporate, and individual donations, ticket sales, and paid memberships. Net revenues are used for overhead expenses, as seed money for future productions and to enhance the theatre arts education of students of all ages. Rockwall Summer Musicals is a 503(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2010 to entertain, educate, and enrich the cultural life of Rockwall and the surrounding communities.
