The RCT houses three major stages, in addition to other more impromptu staging possibilities.  The Large Stage has seating for 550 guests, and incorporates auxiliary back and wing stages, a fly tower with hydraulic flying facilities, a revolving stage and an orchestra pit for fifty musicians.   The large wings contain room and equipment for stage management, set changes, props and sundry, while at the back of the auditorium are the control rooms for the computer-aided lighting and sound systems.  

The Small Stage, with an audience capacity of up to 220, is a theatre-in-the-round with a versatile stage and balconies.  The New Stage, seating up to 240, is a black box theatre with never-ending possibilities.  The RCT's varied facilities have made it possible to host - in addition to our own drama schedule - diverse performances of cultural programs, concerts, dance, and opera. 

Foyer

The RCT has a large, central foyer with access to all three stages. Here theatre-guests can relax and obtain refreshments.  

Backstage and Production Areas

Central to the backstage facilities is a general service area for actors and other personnel. Here are to be found the dressing rooms and the make-up department encircling a comfy relaxation area for chatting, drinking coffee and waiting for calls on stage.
