The Rochester Community Players is a proud member of TheatreROCS, a group dedicated to the promotion of local theater and performing arts.  For a list of all TheatreROCS members, please see our LINKS page.

On Monday, April 20 the Geva Mainstage was filled with the largest collection of local performing arts organizations ever assembled in Rochester history in TheatreROCS Spring '09!  We participated in the event: the Shakespeare Players program of the Rochester Community Players presented a short scene from our upcomming Summer Shakespeare at the Bowl production of Hamlet, featuring James Heath as Hamlet.  RCP President peter Scribner also conducted the live auction during the event.  Over $10,000 was raised during the event, including over $2,300 at the live auction.

In addition to RCP,  TheatreROCS Spring 2009 featured presentations by Blackfriars Theatre, Bristol Valley Theatre, Downstairs Cabaret Theatre, Geomantics Dance Theater, JCC CenterStage, Mercury Opera Rochester, Off-Monroe Players, Out of Pocket Productions, Penfield Players, Pittsford Musicals, PUSH Physical Theatre, RAPA,  Unleashed! Improv and Village Idiots.  These groups will present a festive showcase of musical theatre, dance, drama and comedy on the Geva Mainstage directed by JCC's Ralph Meranto. 13 WHAM's Norma Holland was emcee for the event.

Proceeds benefit the promotion of local area theaters, including RCP. Community organizations find that their biggest hurdle and expenditure is advertising and promotion and the members of TheatreROCS are committed to combining forces to collectively promote and support each other's work.
