Determined to find a way to present a holiday production as safely as possible, RLT implemented a number of policies and procedures to minimize risk to volunteers and patrons, but as community infection and hospitalization rates increased, the theatre decided to cancel in-person performances on the advice of its Reopening and Safety Committee. The pandemic, however, has changed things this year. Nearly 5000 people attended last year’s holiday production, half of which were school children served by RLT’s school show matinee program. “We love to bring people together for the holidays,” said RLT executive director Chris Davidson.

Reserved tickets are $15 and general admission tickets are $10. Ticket reservations were made available to the Darlington Community earlier this week, and are now available to the general public. Other faculty members working on the production include Alex Johnson, choral director Damon Harvey, band teacher and Kim Tunnell, director of fine arts.
"The harmonies in this show can be challenging to learn when the melodies are so familiar to us, but when we finish learning a song, it is so exciting to hear the parts fit so beautifully together" "I am most proud of the songs that involve our entire company," said Davidson.
Sixteen actors will be transforming between each scene, stepping into 45 different roles, physicalities and personalities, as well as over 95 costumes and three different accents throughout the show. The script offers a variety of roles, and most members of the ensemble are playing three to six different characters. Seniors Kathryn Davidson and Grayson Davis are playing the lead roles of Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins, respectively. This production features 30 Upper School students contributing as actors, crew, student staff and musicians. "It has been two years since we performed 'Shrek' in the space, and this will be our first indoor show since then.
"The cast is thrilled to be preparing for another live production at the beautiful Rome City Auditorium!" said Shelley Daniel, theater director. The musical follows Eliza Doolittle, a poor Cockney flower girl, as she works with Professor Henry Higgins on her speech to pass as a proper lady in English society in the early 20th Century. Showtime for the Sunday matinee is 2 p.m. Following a hiatus of the annual winter musical due to the pandemic, Darlington's fine arts department and The Darlington Players will present "My Fair Lady" Feb.
