Rutland Musical Theatre was founded in 1980 by a small group of people who were keen to start the first ‘Musical Theatre’ Society in the county. It was founded from a love of music and theatre generally and also to preserve the name of Rutland – which at that time was under threat.

Acting and non-acting members welcome.

The first show was Showboat, performed in Uppingham Theatre in April 1981, and the company continues to perform a major musical each April.
