​​​We're excited to welcome you to PLAYSPACE, our table reads series!​

​​

​​“Over the past year, we’ve proudly welcomed new members into the RLT community, expanded our volunteer family, and watched several PLAYSPACE participants make their stage debut in the 25–26 season. One year in, it’s not just the next piece of literature we look forward to—it’s the shared time, the thoughtful conversations, the tears, and the laughter that make this space so special. As a facilitator, it’s a joy to witness this community thrive, and I can’t wait to see what the next year of PLAYSPACE will bring.”

- Alli Clark, PLAYSPACE Director

ROME'S COMMUNITY THEATRE SINCE 1933

 

Born of the American Little Theatre Movement, Rome Little Theatre is proud to be one of the oldest community theatres in the country.  From its founding in 1933 to its WWII hiatus and its 1956 revival, and from its residencies at the Gordon Theatre and the Maple Street Community Center to its current home at the Historic DeSoto Theatre, RLT is woven artfully into the rich, historical fabric of Rome, Georgia.

​

For decades, RLT has been committed to entertaining, engaging, and educating our community through the practice and promotion of the theatre arts. Our success is built on the generous contributions of generations of volunteers, donors, and patrons.

​

Rome Little Theatre presents quality theatrical productions and programs that entertain, inspire, challenge, and contribute to the cultural life of the community.

 

RLT is an active supporter of the Arts in Rome and Floyd County.
