Join us on Monday nights at the RCHS Auditorium to help with set building, painting, getting backstage ready and more. EVERY MONDAY NIGHT in June from 6:45 - 9 p.m. CDT we will have Stage Craft Workshops learning and working directly on things with this year’s production of Matilda the Musical. 

Help Create the Magic

Join us for general work nights Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays from 6:45 - 9 p.m. 

There are so many tasks that need helping hands to make the show come alive and we’d love to see YOU there. Be sure to wear closed toed shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dirty (aka. Paint OR sawdust on). 
You can help us keep the magic by making a donation of any size to help us fund this show and programming beyond.
This summer marks 50 years of stories, songs, and stage lights at Fendig Theatre—and we want YOU to be part of the celebration! Join us July 10, 11 & 12 for our anniversary production of Matilda the Musical. Whether you’ve been in the spotlight before or supported from the audience, this milestone belongs to all of us.

​Over 3,000 participants have been a part of a Fendig production. Those performers now serve in their communities as doctors, managers, teachers and are more confident and prepared for the real world. Your donation can help us include even more people in experiences that can help them feel like they belong.
