We are a nonprofit organization supporting adult and family involvement in the dramatic arts. Our organization focuses on achieving participation in all aspects of various productions; raising monies as needed to fund the participation; and supporting "in need" families and individuals relative to that area of dramatic art.

Since our beginning in 1996, WRP has been a community theater group located in New Richmond, Wisconsin with members from a greater area ranging north to Balsam Lake and south to Hudson, WI. We are an entirely volunteer organization with no paid staff. WRP brings music and theater lovers from the St. Croix Valley together on two fronts. First, we have the "players" and supporters of the organization. This is the group of individuals who produce and perform the plays and musical events. Second are the audiences who come from the St. Croix Community to view the productions. WRP offers productions to a wide audience in a variety of indoor and outdoor venues including theaters, festivals, fairs, public buildings, events, and parades.

WRP supports two intertwined areas of interest. One area emphasizes theater, including acting, set construction, direction, lights, sounds, etc. The other's focus is music, including singing, instruments, and support of musical theater. The areas do not represent separate groups; they represent points of interest for WRP members and as such they routinely work together to deliver productions to our audiences.
