History
The Rainbow Repertory Company began in 1994 after our premiere of The Fences Between, a biographical play about the life of Dr. Norma Marcere. This play was written by founder, Lois DiGiacomo and starred artistic director, Kathy Mitchell. Ultimately, The Fences Between, played to over 12,000 in northeast Ohio.
The success of this initial play gathered an energetic, talented, diverse group of artists and volunteers. We became a traveling theatre troupe bringing theatre to people where they were, and not vice versa. Our mission, to serve our community through the arts, led our dedication to bring the performing arts to all ages and cultures. Along with this dedication is our focus on collaborations and partnerships with individuals, schools and organizations in every community sector—arts, education, social service, civic and business.
The Rainbow Repertory Company welcomes new playwrights and directors who have an arts vision of their own. We help them bring their visions to life.
The Rainbow repertoire includes several Ohio premieres and our own original plays for both entertainment and education. Company playwrights work with persons from all community sectors to write client-specific plays and programs.
Programs include residencies, workshops and seminars.
