History
Regina Little Theatre is a non-profit community theatre company dedicated to providing creative opportunities for amateur performers and backstage personnel. RLT is operated by and for volunteers and has the proud distinction of being the oldest continuously-producing, English-speaking theatre company in Western Canada. Even during World War II, when other companies folded or suspended their activities, RLT stayed its course. In Canada, only Ottawa Little Theatre has a longer history, although OLT operates with a mix of volunteers and paid personnel
