Rupert Mountain Theatrefest 2021

No raffles 

My name is Van Barton and I am the head of the Antone Acting Troupe in Rupert Vermont. After moving home from NYC, having a career in broadway and film, I had the idea to bring my passion to my very own hometown. The first annual Rupert Mountain Theater Festival (RMTF) had  originally transcended from the idea to put on a small performance in a backyard to what many came to witness, a full blown festival. This was all planned within one month. Each and every actor and audience member played  a massive role in the success of this event.  

I have initiated another go fund me in light of last years success. The money from last years donations covered all stage expenses, which I was so grateful for. This year we have plans for better marketing (flyers, banners, posters, T shirts for volunteers), a food truck, portable bathrooms and to keep the festival on a 1 night date of August 28th.


RMTF IS FUNDED BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. I do not ostracize people from seeing good theater and music based on their pockets. This year I am working to get a very special (I must keep this hush) Bluegrass band to come perform to end the night. 

The money raised will go towards the following:

-Marketing (Includes posters, signs, general advertisement) 
-Liability Insurance 
-Stage material (wood, proper tools, lighting, etc.) 
-Memorabilia 
-Food Truck
-Possible Generator for stage lighting.
-Tents 
-Pay for directors, actors,  stage managers and lighting crew of professional productions. 

Money that is not used will go towards the following years events. 

I want to start something great for this town. I am glad to be home. 


My veneration to you all, 
Van
