" We create the opportunity for students to really own their
work by encouraging them to think critically, make their own creative
choices, and use each other as resources for guidance and inspiration." -Michelle Romeo, founder and artistic director-

Our Mission:
Rocky Mountain Theatre For Kids inspires kids in their creative
process while raising students' performance standards to achieve
theatrical excellence.
More about Our Mission:
Founded in 1996, Rocky Mountain Theatre For Kids gives students,
beginner and experienced alike, a professional theater experience
as well as the unique opportunity to study theatre in a true workshop
environment. This means an in depth, personal, and holistic perspective
on the crafting of theatre. We believe that emphasizing the personal
and artistic process in performance is crucial to creating a theatrical
piece of true substance and integrity. We strive to create an environment
where both the creative process and a professional product are
emphasized.
Furthermore, by providing our students with a professional performance
arena including professional costumes, makeup, sets, lighting, sound,
dance, music, and more, we are elevating each student’s personal
standards for performance. We immerse our students in a diverse
and culturally rich performing arts curriculum and choose shows
that will showcase this diversity and challenge them artistically.
Theatre is a powerful way
of opening up a young person's spirit
to the creative process.
During the summers we offer intensive summer programs, two of which focus on
the work-shopping and rehearsal of a full length musical
production, which is then performed for the public for
several consecutive days. We offer daily “minor
classes” to our students in dance, voice, music,
makeup, or technical arts. RMTK offers after-school
programs as well as classes and youth rep companies
throughout the school year.
