Job Description and Announcement
Executive Director
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY AND THEATER
Klamath Falls, rural hub to south-eastern Oregon and far-northern California, is nestled in the beauty of the high desert meeting the Cascades along the Oregon-California border. With a rich cultural heritage and a dedication to livability, well being, and community pride, Klamath Falls is a west-coast gem. The Ross Ragland Theater and Cultural Center (RRT) is the only year-round, multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary arts center in a large geographical area and annually serves over 40,000 residents and visitors. The RRT is also the only professionally-staffed performing arts center in south-central Oregon, and enjoys extraordinary community support. In addition to producing and presenting its own programs, the Ragland is a community center that annually hosts over 400 arts, cultural and community activities and events.
Built in 1940 and formerly known as the art deco-styled Esquire movie theater, the RRT re-invigorated the community's interest in the performing arts when it opened in 1989. Recently the RRT harkened back to its roots adding a big-screen digital theater experience, creating a large expansion in program offering. The theater boasts over 740 seats, state of the art sound and lights, a high-end digital cinema system, and a Cultural Center with the capacity to seat up to 240 people. The RRT is a sustainable facility harnessing the power of solar and geothermal energies.
The RRT provides world-class performing arts and educational experiences that enhance community life in the Klamath Basin. As both a presenting and producing organization, RRT: 1) presents national and international touring artists to the community through its mainstage series, 2) produces performances featuring local talent in its auditorium and Cultural Center studio space, 3) presents art house and classic movies as well as cinema events, 4) partners with other community groups for cultural and economic development, and 5) offers comprehensive arts education programs for Pre-K through 12th grade, providing over 20,000 contact experiences for children in the Klamath Basin in partnership with the local school districts.
