River City Players

Picture
River City Players (RCP), a community theater group, was founded in 2013 and is an operating division of Estill County 21st Century, Inc. dba Estill Development Alliance. We are a non-profit organization that welcomes people of all ages interested in any area of performance art.  Our mission statement is "To Encourage Cultural Awareness through Theatrical and Dramatic Expression."  We are dedicated to the study, practice and production of dramatics, music, and other fine arts for educational, recreational, civic and benevolent purposes.  RCP is also active in efforts to revitalize our community’s economy through developing Art and Cultural Tourism.

River City Players Community Theater Group
Excerpted from rivercityplayers.net:  "For those of you living in and around Irvine, KY; I am sure you have seen the large “Save the Mack” goal thermometer on the Estill County Courthouse lawn. For those of you living away from Irvine, I am sure you have fond memories of  “going to the show” at the Mack.  You might be thinking the Mack will soon reopen as a movie theater, and you might be correct.  However, there are many miles to travel and many bridges to be crossed before that goal is realized.River City Players is working hard to raise the needed funds to purchase the Mack Theater building and we need your help.  Buying the building is only the beginning of a project that will end with the completion of Estill County’s Community Center and Community Theater.

Our Vice-Chair, Penny West, talks of the time when the community joined together to contribute to the funds needed to build our hospital.  The contribution list shows  50 cents was a frequent amount donated.  We need to know  what our parents and grandparents knew.  Many giving a little, makes a lot!  

Contributions in any amount are needed and very much appreciated.  Go to www.estillcountyky.net or mail your contribution to River City Players, P.O. Box 421, Irvine, KY 40336.  Memo your check “Mack Theater Fund”.

Please visit our Facebook page, River City Players Community Theater Group. There are pictures posted that include the cast of “A Tuna Christmas”, comments about our dinner theater production “Murder at the Bingo Hall”, and great pictures of the Children’s Drama Camp.

We look forward to hearing from you, seeing you at an audition, or perhaps you will attend the performance of our upcoming holiday production, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”.  Please visit our webpage often, we will be posting more information soon."
