Meet Richmond Performing Arts Alliance

RPAA is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to provide diverse local and world-class performing arts, transformative arts education experiences for students of all ages, and inspirational venues — all to strengthen the cultural and economic vitality of the Greater Richmond region.

In addition to its comprehensive BrightLights Education Initiatives and wide array of performances and productions, RPAA hosts a range of resident arts companies and other performing arts groups in a collaborative environment while overseeing its family of venues: Altria Theater at Monroe Park and Dominion Energy Center, which houses Carpenter Theatre and Dorothy Pauley Square — home to Rhythm Hall, Showcase Gallery, Libby S. Gottwald Playhouse and Genworth BrightLights Education Center.

Our vision is to be a catalyst for creative and vibrant arts throughout the Richmond region.
