Shoes & Makeup: Cast members are responsible for obtaining the proper footwear for rehearsals and performances. For health reasons, cast must also supply their own makeup.

The production team is committed to casting individuals 18 years of age and older from all backgrounds, identities, body types, and abilities. RMT acknowledges the financial commitment of participating in community theatre. Through the Sonie Mathew Scholarship Fund, RMT may be able to offer support to volunteers who may need assistance in offsetting costs, such as membership dues, travel expenses, stage makeup, dance shoes, etc. The production team will also lead efforts to coordinate carpool options where needed.
