Unfortunately, the hat was absconded with at one point and hasn t been seen since. But the tradition lives on and the award has become the highlight of many cast and crew parties. In 1972 RLT s Quarters on the grounds behind the Civic Center Mansion were completed. For the first time, flats, equipment, costumes, props and supplies could all be stored in one central location. Many a Saturday has been spent down at Quarters painting and sawing to create the wonderful sets for our productions.
Construction is almost complete for larger Quarters in the same area.
We hope to be in the new Quarters by the summer of 2000 . With our production of Murder by the Book in 1993, we took a great step forward by adding a matinee performance to our schedule. Although only about 70 people showed up on that first Sunday, the matinee has now become one of our most popular performances each show. Many of our audience members expressed their appreciation for being able to attend our shows during daylight hours. In 90s we entered the Information Age and purchased our first computer .
