Alabama NewsCenter — Theatre UAB finds new synergy, collaboration with Red Mountain Theatre

By Shannon Thomason

The cross-pollination occurring between Theatre UAB and RMT is unprecedented in this community, says Kelly Allison, chair of the College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Theatre and vice president of Education on the RMT Executive Committee. The relationship between the groups is historic, going back to the days of the legendary Town and Gown Theatre and SummerFest; but the scope and breadth of their collaboration are bigger and better than ever before, and will only get stronger.
