    We debuted with the popular family musical, Rogers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music. With a 63 member cast and a 13 piece orchestra. In the process, we mentored 40 student participants in all aspects of theatre as we entertained nearly 2,000 audience members to stellar reviews.

    Huge audiences attended our second family-friendly selection, Oklahoma!, which again featured a large cast with an impressive troupe of accomplished dancers. As before, we provided opportunities for both adults and students to showcase their talents as they learned applied theatrical skills from experienced performers and directors.

  • SUMMER 2012: Annie Get Your Gun

    Rockwall Summer Musicals’ second season opened with Annie Get Your Gun, a musical with lyrics and music written by Irving Berlin and a book by Dorothy Fields and her brother Herbert Fields. The story is a fictionalized version of the life of Annie Oakley (1860–1926), a sharpshooter who starred in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, and her romance with sharpshooter Frank Butler.

  • What’s Next?

    We have dreams aplenty! In addition to attracting notable area performers, we hope to harness the incredible talents of aspiring collegiate musical theater students during their summer time off. Ultimately, we plan to integrate with Actors’ Equity members to incorporate esteemed theatrical professionals in various elements of our productions. By co-mingling such a large, varied talent pool, we hope to provide a fertile mentoring environment for developing performers.

The Mission of Rockwall Summer Musicals (RSM) is to entertain, educate, and enrich the cultural life of Rockwall and the surrounding communities. RSM will provide opportunities for both adult and student participants to showcase their talents while providing a medium for theatrical education. –Mission Statement.

First of all, let me say that the kickoff party for RSM 2012 Season was a smash hit. It was first class, top drawer and the "bees knees!" Thank you for including us. In that regard, attached is notification that Jerry and I want to support the Musicals monetarily on the Lyricist Level.–Jerry & Rosemary Clay

The huge cast, directed by Barbara Doudt, was every bit as professional as those I have seen in New York and Fair Park. The orchestra, conducted by Roberta Pavlov, was magnificent, and the set, designed by Phyllis Johnson was amazing. –Leigh Plagens

If Maria's voice was strong, that of the Mother Abbess, portrayed by Shelley Aubrey, could only be described as muscular, driving home the positive theme of "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", making the audience want to go out and do just that. –Bob Lewis

the show was wonderful and music, as always, was outstanding! –Carolyn Gehring

they did a fantastic job with Annie Get Your Gun.  Very entertaining! –Dawn Blazier

We absolutely loved the performance yesterday. Great job! What a jewel for our community! Can't wait for the next show!–Kim Dobbs
