The Need
All of the work for RRTC is done through volunteers, but there are still significant direct costs, which are often required to be paid “up front” before any revenues from ticket sales are received. These include play royalties (license fees), scripts, set materials, costumes, promotion and advertising, etc. The RRTC does not receive any grants. Sponsorship by individuals or local businesses assists with these costs. It can be in the form of cash or in-kind, such as supplying items or services for our productions.
As a sponsor, what do I get?
The sponsorship year runs for a calendar year and covers two performances.
About Rural Root
The Rural Root Theatre Company was started in 2005 to bring community theatre to the West Carleton area. The group has presented two high quality productions every year since then, providing the opportunity for local actors, directors and others interested in the theatre to express their talent and giving local residents fun, inexpensive entertainment.
Volunteer Driven
RRTC is a volunteer, non-profit organization. We rely on ticket sales and sponsorships to cover expenses. Volunteers provide all behind-the-scenes effort, including set and lighting design, stage management, production, etc. We are always on the look-out for specific props for our productions.
Our Location
The Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre at 262 Len Purcell Drive is the permanent home of the RRTC. This facility, which includes a bar and kitchen, has a fine stage with lighting and sound system, and can seat over 125 patrons.
Our Audience
Our productions average over 100 persons per performance. Our patrons come from all over the Ottawa area and as far afield as Orleans, Brockville and Arnprior, and span all ages.
