Redlands Theatre Festival

We are a public charitable repertory theatrical organization that makes available to the general public the luxury of great drama, as well as new works, well produced, and modestly priced. Redlands Theatre Festival was created in 1972 by Cliff Cabanilla as an extension of the Crafton Hills College theatre program and summer school. RTF is a non-profit, resident, rotating-repertory theatre company. A typical season includes a large-scale Broadway musical, a smaller-scale Off-Broadway musical, a period piece (Shakespeare, Molière, et al.), a contemporary play (usually a comedy), and a wild card (experimental, avant-garde, or new works). Occasionally, special events may be included in the season: concerts, invited guests and groups, etc. RTF runs every night, Wednesday-Sunday, during its summer season. A different show plays each evening as the shows randomly rotate. See something different every night of the week! Auditions for the Festival company take place in early February. Rehearsals begin in April. The season runs mid-June through the beginning of August. We are always looking for volunteers! Check back often for more information.
