Reagle Music Theatre is excited to launch its new concert series called UPLIFT!
The UPLIFT concert series will shine a spotlight on various underrepresented artists in the community, giving them a dedicated space in which to learn from and collaborate with more established artists, develop and hone performance skills, and share their diverse talents and personal experiences with a wide audience.
Everyone deserves the chance to shine and RMT's UPLIFT concert series will support and represent as many artists of various backgrounds and identities as possible as they bring their stories front and center stage.
Each concert will feature and celebrate two artists: One will be a more established and experienced member of the community. The other will be an up-and-coming artist who is about to take the theater scene by storm! Together, and in collaboration with Artistic Director Rachel Bertone, these artists will create an event that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Our goal is to create an atmosphere of mutual learning where all artists benefit from this artistic collaboration and find personal growth within themselves.
We cannot wait for you to join us on this new adventure. UPLIFT will be presented at Club Café in Boston to offer a more intimate and engaging experience and to provide more access to the Greater Boston Community.
Join us for UPLIFT!
