RMT is dedicated to training young artists alongside professionals, much like a teaching hospital. Our rehearsals consist of learning music and choreography for our performances, engaging in proper warm up techniques, and growing skills through focused education sessions. We spend approximately 450 hours in rehearsal and performance each year. The rigorous training and learning schedule provides the opportunity for Youth Ensemble members to flourish in an experience comparable to many collegiate and professional programs.

In addition to the RMT Holiday Spectacular and the Performing Ensemble Spring Show, members perform periodically throughout the year for businesses, civic clubs, and cultural institutions around the Birmingham area.

Ensemble members have performed in many once-in-a-lifetime experiences. In 2014, the Ensembles were honored to perform at a ceremony honoring the Dalai Lama. They have performed alongside artists with Emmy Awards® and Tony Awards®, such as Sharif Simmons, Jason Robert Brown, Chet Walker, Norm Lewis, and many more of theatre’s finest professionals.
