In these seven “fun houses,” at the intersection of art and serendipity, the halls have mirrors — but you’ll leave thinking life doesn’t look half bad."

"'The Musical of Musicals: The Musical' by Reston Community Players is a crash course in musicals, highly educational for both students and audience. But whether you’re a theater novice or theater nerd, you’ll need no footnotes to get these gags. Light bulbs will flicker in your brains all night in tune/time with the razzle-dazzle onstage."

The Reston Community Players have launched a new apprenticeship program to train and educate local youth in all aspects of the performing arts. The program, for students 12 - 18, includes a performance track and a production track to provide exposure to the process of building a theatrical production from the ground up. Click for details!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The Noble Blades hope you have a safe, warm, wonderful Thanksgiving. While this year has been full of uncertainty, we wanted to share some things that The Noble Blades are thankful for.
We're thankful for the Reston Community Players, without whom we wouldn't have a home and ongoing partnership; we're thankful for the strong community that theatre creates, without which we wouldn't have a mission to strive for; and lastly, we're thankful for YOU. Without you, our donors, artists, friends, family, and followers, we wouldn't be where we are today as an organization. This year has been full of hardship, but has also been full of hope, thanks to you. THANK YOU!!!
What are you thankful for this year? #GiveThanks #GivingTuesday
With only 8 days away from #GivingTuesday, this means we're almost into December. We hope you have been enjoying Reston Community Players RCP Gives Thanks', their month-long November initiative showing their gratitude and appreciation for the community that has supported and celebrated them for the past 54 years! Make sure to visit their page to find information on how to enjoy their final week of beautiful live-streamed performances, and please consider donating before the month is over!
