Fundraiser

50/50 Book Club Draw

Book Club 50/50 Raffle is Live!

The 50/50 Raffle will only run during the two weeks We Don’t Talk About Book Club runs!

We will do the draw live on discord on Monday, March 24:

Did you know it costs $1300 per production for ASL interpretation? Or that venues cost over $6000+ for one weekend? Theatre is so important to entertain audiences, to shine a light on society, to bring laughter or tears, and it must be accessible to the WHOLE community!

Your 50/50 tickets help support us, one of many local theatre companies. The winnings specifically fund two different programs including our Youth Mentorship program with a Theatre Education Assistant and our Accessibility fund (directly for ASL interpreters and hopefully more in the new year).

While you could win cash, we win by being able to entertain you.

2024 Accessibility Fundraiser!

2024 Accessibility Fundraiser is on!

All Summer Long We are Running our Accessibility 50/50 Fundraiser!

The Royal Canadian Theatre Company is hosting a new fundraiser to make theatre more accessible for everyone. They are hosting an online 50/50 draw that opens at the end of July via rctc.rafflenexus.com and closes on September 28th at 5 PM. This fundraiser will support ASL interpreters at all of their relaxed performances during the season and bring in an Education Assistant to support their Annual Mentorship Program during Knotted: Rapunzel’s Story.

By purchasing a raffle ticket, you will directly support the inclusion of an ASL interpreter during our relaxed performances. This crucial service ensures that the full experience of RCTC’s production will be enjoyed by the d/Deaf and hard of hearing community. In addition, support from the raffle will help fund an Education Assistant for our Mentorship Program, which costs thousands of dollars. The Mentorship Program is dedicated to nurturing talent, teaching professional behaviours and creating a safe space over 4 months of rehearsals and performances. The inclusion of an Education Assistant will make the Mentorship Program more accessible to children with physical, mental, and behavioural needs. This Education Assistant will provide crucial support during rehearsals and performances, ensuring every child can fully participate, learn about theatre, and develop their creativity.

To be entered to win 50% of the pot, you can purchase 3 tickets for $2 or 10 tickets for $5. Once you purchase your tickets, you can sit back and relax knowing that you supported accessibility in live theatre. The Raffle will close on September 28th at 5 pm, and a winning ticket will be drawn at 6 pm.

This year’s annual pantomime, Knotted: Rapunzel’s Story, will feature relaxed performances at both venues, in partnership with the City of Surrey and Massey Theatre Society. These sensory-friendly performances are designed to be welcoming to audience members with disabilities or a range of other challenges. Features of a relaxed performance include less intense sound and lighting cues, the ability to enter and exit the auditorium freely, audience lights that are never fully turned off, and tolerance for audience noise, movements, and fidget devices. Additionally, performers will introduce themselves at the start of the show to ease anxiety and further explain any potentially frightening moments. These relaxed performances are also ideal for those with babies or toddlers.

Join RCTC in making theatre accessible to all and nurturing the next generation of performers. Your contribution makes a significant difference.

All in good fund – 2019

All in Good Fund

This fundraiser is dedicated to mentoring the kids you’ll see on stage at the Massey in our upcoming pantomime, Snow White !

We are so lucky to have the one and only Simon King, an amazing stand-up comedian, with us for this event. He will have a guest with him, and together they will bring us an exceptional, hilarious, side-splitting evening of entertainment. Simon will also be on stage this holiday season at the Surrey Arts Centre and the Massey Theatre.

Simon has numerous national television appearances including Comedy Network, CBC, CTV, TBS, Comedy Central to name but a few, plus regular radio play on both terrestrial and satellite radio, and in person appearances at all the major North American Comedy Festivals. It is only a matter of time before this grass roots superstar becomes a household name.

His unmistakable style, commanding stage presence and lightning wit will win you over but the scope, meaning and sheer hilarity of his material will blow your mind. There is no question that Simon King is an absolute force of nature.

[See videos of Simon in action on YouTube]

“From everything I have seen, Simon King is truly a gifted comedian” – Robin Williams

“….a force on stage: he gives it to you straight with explosive delivery, and his humour always makes you think. Think George Carlin meets Sam Kinison.” – The Georgia Straight
