Theatre Guild of Rockingham County...Showcasing Local Talent


My daughter and I spent this afternoon enjoying the final show of Disney’s Mulan, Jr. The production was performed by talented young people in our area who volunteer their time to the Theatre Guild of Rockingham County. As an old Theatre Guild gal myself, I can appreciate the work that goes into a show like this. It takes time and dedication from many talented people, including those who are behind the scenes.


Lydia and I loved the set, which was wonderfully painted and made us feel like we had taken a step back in time to ancient China. There were great costumes and visuals throughout the show and the singing was phenomenal! It was wonderful to see the budding talent we have right here in Rockingham County.

While this was the last performance of Mulan ,Jr., you can still see other great shows in the 2009-2010 season. Visit the Theatre Guild's website at www.tgrc-nc.com to see the dates for exciting upcoming productions including The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Robin Hood, and The King and I. Try your hand at auditioning and you could be the next person under the bright lights! If acting is not for you, there are still plenty of other ways to participate in productions. The Tech Crew of the Theatre Guild builds the sets, hangs the lights, plays the music and sound effects, provides the costumes and props, and sets the stage. They are the people behind the curtain, and the show cannot go on without them!
