The RMs are an energetic, diverse, and focussed group that is striving to educate and entertain. We draw actors and audiences not only from the Laurel area, but also from DC, Northern Virginia, and Baltimore. Our numbers consist of people from the ages of 7 to over 50, in professions as varied as construction workers, doctors, physicists, linguists, and computer specialists. Focussing primarily on Shakespeare, we attempt to not just put on a show, but to have each member of the audience take from the show a bit more understanding of the recurring themes of the human condition.
