Welcome! We are so excited that you are interested in becoming a member of River City Pops. We believe everyone should have a safe space to express themselves and have fun performing. RCP is a group open to all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, ethnicities, cultures, religions, body sizes, vocal ranges, physical abilities, ages, and neurodivergences. If you are kind, open, and ready to put on a show, we’d love to meet you!
What can I expect as a member of RCP?
Each year we put on one or two stage shows. We sing, we dance, we have fun. We create our shows from scratch with full group numbers created by our leadership and director, but the majority of our show comes from “specialty” numbers created and produced by group members. This makes every RCP show a truly unique experience.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Members are expected to help with fundraising to the best of their ability through various opportunities both in-person and virtual.
Rehearsal schedules vary from show-to-show and gig-to-gig, but generally our rehearsals are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 - 9 or 10 pm with occasional Saturday mornings as we get closer to our show date.
When is the next show?
We are in the process of finalizing our 41st season which will conclude with our annual mainstage production on May 16th and 17th, 2025 at Austin Playhouse. Additionally, our season will also include smaller scale performance opportunities in partnership with local businesses around Austin, which are an additional (optional) opportunity for members to do what they do best - perform!
How do I audition?
We have concluded auditions for our upcoming season and aren’t expected to hold auditions again until mid-to-late 2025.
If you are interested in staying in touch with RCP, we encourage you to follow us on social media to check out some of our performance opportunities this year around Austin. Additionally, if you would like to try us out first by visiting a rehearsal, let us know by contacting president@rivercitypops.org. We will not resume regular rehearsals again until January 2025.
