Theatrical productions School Theatre

A professional non-profit theatre company that produces musicals, educational programs, concerts, or REAGLE AT A GLANCE Following a successful Spring 1969 production of The Music Man, a group of Waltham High School students and alumni began planning a summer theatre under the leadership of Robert J. Eagle. This was not only an opportunity for students to learn and grow, but it was, as Superintendent James FitzGerald put it, “an excellent use of an empty school theater. Read more” With support from Mayor Richard F. Dacey and the Waltham City Council, the company’s first production—Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel—opened to great acclaim, and the “Reagle Players” (renamed the Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston in 2010) were established. The connection to Waltham High School has remained through the past 50 years. In return, Reagle has provided financial support for the school, including a $1.2 million dollar renovation and addition to the Fine Arts Wing (including a dance studio, costume and prop workshops, and an improved rigging system), a professional stage floor, and state-of-the-art lighting equipment. The National Endowment for the Arts has yet to find another professional theatre company connected so closely to a public school system. BROADWAY TO GREATER BOSTON Even before Reagle Music Theatre became a professional theatre, it valued excellence in production quality, casting, and design. Broadway choreography is recreated for many shows, and large orchestras are always employed. Reagle Music Theatre also owns costumes and sets from several Broadway and touring productions. Reagle’s productions are facilitated by numerous employees (including a year-round staff of a half dozen), creative professionals, members of theatrical unions, and volunteers. Reagle employed its first professional actor in 1984: Robert Fitch, who reprised his original Broadway role of Rooster Hannigan in Annie. Since then, Reagle has employed countless members of Actors’ Equity Association (the union of professional actors and stage managers in the United States) and aspiring professionals who have gone on to become members of Actors’ Equity. Reagle has been a member of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre since 1991. Past summer productions have featured performances by world-class theatre artists such as Shirley Jones (Cousin Nettie in Carousel), Sally Struthers (Annie), Lee Meriwether (Mame), John Davidson (The Sound of Music) Update description
