The Rainbow Company
The Rainbow Company has been producing award-winning family theatre for more than 28 years. The Company produces five fully mounted in-house plays each year. One of these productions is designed to tour to elementary schools throughout the valley. Open auditions are held for each show, and age appropriate casting is practiced.

The Rainbow Company offers classes for young people ages 10-18. Acting, set and costume design, stage management and make-up are only a sample of the full spectrum of classes available during the year. Serious theatre students can audition for the Student Ensemble. This select group of young people ages 10-18 do it all. They take classes and participate in every production. They stage manage, act, construct sets, props and costumes, run lights, run sound, and work backstage and front of house, although not all at the same time. While Rainbow Company calls the Reed Whipple Cultural Center home; classes are also offered at Charleston Heights Arts Center. Productions are split between the two centers; three at Reed Whipple and two at Charleston Heights.
