The movies are shown in the outdoor amphitheater adjacent to Raleigh Little Theatre, and will include interactive pre-movie activities such as a scavenger hunt and a trivia contest. This event involves the free screening of 4 movies on 4 consecutive Thursdays in July. “I think the niche of our movie series compared to other movie series in town is we try to focus on things that are somewhat theatre related” said Phaneuf. This month, Raleigh Little Theatre is partnering with Live It Up! Hillsborough Street and Raleigh Brewing to hold an annual summer event, Movies in the Garden. “Even our actors are volunteers and we have about 1,000 volunteers a year who volunteer 40,000 hours a year.” “There are lots of opportunities here to work backstage or in front of house” said Phaneuf. The third major area of involvement RLT offers is volunteer opportunities. One such class is called “Acting for Creative Entrepreneurs,” which looks at how the tools of an actor can help in a business setting. Of course, the theatre offers traditional acting classes, but there are also somewhat nontraditional classes available. The second area of involvement is classes from ages 2 or 3 all the way to adults in all aspects of theatre. “If someone is a fan of any particular type of theatre, we’ll do it at some point” said Phaneuf. The first is all kinds of shows offered year round for all ages - from musicals to dramas to comedy to quirky adaptations of traditional stories, such as Alice Wonderland, a version of Lewis Carroll's original tale that collides with the 21st century digital era. In the words of Charles Phaneuf, Executive Director for Raleigh Little Theatre, “The big thing about this place is that it’s a place for people to come and participate in theatre in whatever kind of way they want to.” There are 3 main categories of involvement that RLT offers. RLT produces close to a show a month, more shows than any theatre in North Carolina, and has won Indy Week’s award for “Best Live Theater Company” two years in a row. Today, RLT stands as one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in the country. The theatre began in 1936 when a group of Raleigh performers and technical workers from the Federal Theatre wanted to bring community theatre to Raleigh. The building itself has a fairly plain exterior, but RLT boasts a rich history and a wide assortment of shows.
