It takes a community to run a theater! As a non-profit, in order to continue to improve the quality of our productions, we look to the generous community members who support the arts in Rice Lake to help us through not only monetary donations but tangible items and equipment that allow us to build sets, costume actors and build/purchase needed props. If you are interested in learning more about how you or your business can become a "Behind the Scenes" partner, contact us today at nstcricelake@gmail.com or call our box office at 715-736-4444.
