The Randolph Summer Vacation Playhouse (RSVP) was originally part of Randolph County Schools, and provided a way for students to get drama experience and for teachers to earn renewal credits.

Each summer, the group mounted two separate productions at Southwestern Randolph High School – a non-musical on the first weekend and a musical the next weekend.

In its inaugural season of 1986, RSVP presented Our Town and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. 

In 1998, RSVP became a part of the Randolph Arts Guild and continued to produce one show (usually a musical) each summer.

In the fall of 2003, RSVP developed its own bylaws, elected officers and appointed board members, and became an Associate Member of the Randolph Arts Guild.

The name was officially changed to RSVP Community Theatre, removing the word “summer,” to reflect RSVP’s commitment to produce a variety of shows year-round for the enjoyment of Randolph County residents.
