About Our Facility
Following years of
planning, fund raising and finally construction, the Racine Theatre Guild
moved to its current location at 2519 Northwestern Avenue (Highway 38)
in October 1976. While the RTG owns its building, it's located on land
owned by the City of Racine in the Charles A. Wustum Memorial Park, beside
the Wustum campus of the Racine Art Museum. Thanks to donors who contributed
during a three-year capital campaign (2000-2003), the facility has recently
been improved and transformed. These are some of the physical features
