RASA has coupled with Prairie Fire Children's Theatre for 18 years to present an elementary theater production. We strive to hold these productions during the week of Minnesota Education Association's two-day convention in order to give the children exposure to theatre, dance and music in a production based venue. Two to three productions are well attencded by family and friends of the children, and tickets sell out early. The Prairie Fire Children's Theatre production is usually the 3rd week in October and involves children age 7 through 14.
