Vision Statement
Through collaboration, creativity, community, and connection, River City Theatre improves quality of life through the arts and provides a home for everyone.
Collaboration: Each production is a unique opportunity for artists to make theatre magic. We provide actors, musicians, directors, designers, choreographers, and theatre technicians a safe, inspirational environment to create transformative productions and theatrical experiences.
Creativity: RCT’s creative team comprises industry professionals who “think outside the box” and inspire one another to reach for the stars. RCT upholds a high standard of excellence and recruits artists who are passionate, respectful, and dedicated to their crafts. The stage is a playground for exploration and collaboration, and RCT values theatre’s power to change lives.
Community: RCT provides the community and its members with entertaining and accessible theatrical productions and programming. We create partnerships with local schools and community organizations in hopes of sharing the joys of theatre with children and nurturing the next generation of young artists.
Connection: RCT remains with you and connected to YOU after the curtain drops. Theatre enhances the quality of life for the residents of the greater Jacksonville area and the state of Florida and for those who are visiting. Through storytelling and the shared experience of theatre, we make the world a brighter and better place.
