Rockville Little Theatre Presents "Jake's Women", Rockville

1947 was a banner year for theatre. Broadway had just seen the world premiere of A Streetcar Named Desire, and the very first Tony Awards were held to the delight of theatre artists, theatergoers, and guys named Tony everywhere. But there were also smaller victories throughout the country. Hundreds of miles away from the Great White Way, a group of six Rockville residents assembled to create the aptly named Rockville Little Theatre and debuted in 1948 with a production of Noel Coward's Hay Fever. In the years since that first performance, the theatre company has only grown larger in membership, stature, and attendance. Placing an emphasis on quality theater and family programming, the theater's award-winning mix of new and classic comedies, mysteries, and dramas designed to appeal to theatregoers of all ages.
