The Rushford Area Society of the Arts was formed in 1980 by a group of Rushford area individuals who wanted an organization that would help further the appreciation of the ”ARTS”. This was to be accomplished by furnishing the area with various samples of music, dance, theater and visual art, and giving the community a chance to experience these on all levels. Since that first melodrama in 1980, RASA has produced 18 major musical productions, 18 full-length community theatre productions, 9 one act plays/dinner theatres, and 24 children’s productions. We’ve brought dance companies, piano concerts, rock bands, jazz ensembles and choirs to enrich Rushford area citizens. To become a member of this organization and receive mailings of upcoming events, send a check to RASA, PO Box 322, Rushford MN, 55971.

RASA is funded with private and business memberships and donations. Occasionally we have relied on grants to help with larger up-front costs of large productions. Some productions are profitable and help the ongoing business of RASA, but being profitable is not necessarily the primary purpose of our organization.
