******************************************
You are cordially invited to Musicals at Richter’s
RENAISSANCE OF RICHTER Celebration Benefit!
We will be celebrating the completion of Phase One
of our NEW STAGE construction with a festive ribbon-cutting
ceremony, along with food, beverages and entertainment.
Among our special guests, Mayor Dean Esposito is scheduled to attend.
Construction of the new stage has been made possible largely by
generous donations from our family, friends, and fans. Commencement of the project would
not have been possible without the generosity of our friend and builder, Jim Blansfield.
Even though Phase One is complete, we still have a long way to go to complete our new facility. We are holding this fundraiser to help pay off the cost of phase one in order to begin the final phases.
It is our greatest hope to have all phases completed for the 2023 season!
Our fundraiser will be a celebration of
Musicals at Richter’s past, present, and incredible future.
Stay tuned to our social media for event updates and details.

The final collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein was destined to
become the world's most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs,
including "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "My Favorite Things," "Do Re Mi," "Sixteen
Going on Seventeen" and the title number, THE SOUND OF MUSIC won the
hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The
inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an
ebullient postulant who serves as governess to the seven children of the
imperious Captain Von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household.
But as the forces ofNazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the
entire Von Trapp family must make a moral decision.

***************************************************
Unfortunately, the Christmas storm of 2019 caused massive damage to our stage.
The winds destroyed the masking walls for the stage wings, and broke structural supports
on both sides of the stage. The gusts also severely damaged the rear wall of the stage
that provides the principal structural support for the covered backstage area. This
central backstage space shelters the cast and crew during performances
(and inclement weather), provides prop and set piece storage, and serves
as the principal costume changing area during the show.
