Rex Theatre Mission Statement

The Family that operates the Rex Theatre intends that this Theatre be used to the betterment of the community of Glenwood by offering the stage and auditorium for the youth of the area a place to grow, develop and perform their talents. We stress a high moral character development as a goal. Currently dance is taught at the Rex Theatre and we would like to expand that to all areas of art and would also like to stress a strong diversity among dance, art, music, film, mass media and theatre students and welcome in all people no matter their race, creed, color, religion or social strata. When one of the other area venue's such as Church, School, or Amphitheatre are not available the Rex Theatre could be used by groups, organizations or individuals needing a stage and auditorium to perform. To that end we will work with other area venues when they are not able to accommodate requested performances at their facilities. We will still show movies on the weekend and, as always since owned by this family, never show a "R" rated film. We will be working on light, sound and stage systems in order to get this accomplished over the next few years and will hope to be the "Rex Performing Arts Center" soon.
