ROCKVILLE MUSICAL THEATRE

In the early 1970’s, Rockville Little Theatre (RLT) performed musicals as well as plays. Eventually a decision was made by RLT to focus solely on plays. Following that decision, a group from RLT’s production of Guys and Dolls began to explore creating a theater company that produced only musicals. In June 1974, Rockville Musical Theatre (RMT) was formed and produced its first show.

RMT has come a long way since that first production which featured borrowed, salvaged, and rented sets and costumes. Today, Rockville Musical Theatre produces three musicals each year: one typically performed in the spring at the Gaithersburg Arts Barn at Arts on the Green; the remaining two shows are produced in the summer and fall at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre.
