Summer Sizzles at RSP, Join us, have some fun, and help raise funds for this dynamic group!
We will be running our very successful fireworks stand again this year!! Come on out, spend a few hours with some of the most talented pyrotechnic experts around, and help a worthy cause at the same time!  Anyone interested in volunteering to help are always welcome!! This is our main fundraiser for the year. RSP is a non-profit organization and our costs to produce such quality work takes money. We find this fundraiser to be a great way to meet new people, encourage new patrons and gather to socialize while helping out the company. Give it a try and we can guarantee you'll be having the time of your life (next to seeing one of our great productions, that is!!).To volunteer to join us this summer simply send an email to russl@runawaystage.com with your name, phone and availability. 
If you cannot volunteer to work the stand, do the next best thing, come and purchase your fireworks at our stand. Top

Summer Kicks Off With A Bang!
A Sizzling Explosion of Summertime Fun – Meredith Willson’s The Music Man! 
The Music Man is the story of a phony traveling salesman who's plans to flim-flam an Iowa town in July of 1912 are thwarted by his love for the town librarian. The score is a disarming potpourri of period styles including the Sousa-style march "Seventy-Six Trombones," the preacher-like exhortation "Trouble," several barbershop quartets and the shamelessly romantic "Till There Was You." The book captures a time of innocence with humor, charm, and sentimentality. The Music Man remains one of the world's most popular musicals, an all-American explosion of hokum and heart. Michael McElroy is Harold Hill and Buffee Ann Gillihan will be Marion Paroo in this blockbuster show so summer will sizzle at the 24th Street theatre and another great RSP Production! INSIDER TIP: RSP is pleased to welcome back the incomparable Ron Cisneros as choreographer for this legendary show, so don’t miss this one! July 1 - 24, 2005
Show Times: 8:00 pm Fridays & Saturdays, 2:00 pm Sundays

Great Parking News at Sierra 2 - The 24th Street Theatre!
As you are approaching the 24th Street theatre from Broadway, make a left turn on Castro Street and then a right turn into a newly available parking lot for theatre patrons. You will notice a new sign that lets you know that it is OK to park there for theatre events. This lot is very close to the theatre (a short walk right beside the theatre brings you to the front door, and the Box Office), and right next to the RSP rehearsal space known as "The Studio." So please feel free to park in this lot when you come to see the great shows at RSP! Just another way to make visiting the 24th Street Theatre easier and hassle free! |
