Revival Theatre Company has announced its five local performers appearing Saturday, September 18, 2021, at Orchestra Iowa's "Brucemorchestra XIV: An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein" performed on the front lawn of the historic Brucemore mansion in Cedar Rapids.

"We've woven together an incredible cast of local and national talent to complement Orchestra Iowa and the classic songs of Rogers and Hammerstein," said Brian Glick, Artistic Director for RTC. "It's the perfect show to welcome back audiences to a beloved Cedar Rapids tradition."

The talent and experience of RTC's five local performers extend from stage to screen, including Midwestern and regional performances with symphonies and operas, Broadway and national tours, network television, and Carnegie Hall.
