Awarded “Best Wild West Show” for 4 years by True West Magazine and TripAdvisor's Travelers Choice since 2020; this is not your average summer job opportunity! For over 25 years, Rocky Mountain School of the Arts, our arts school; and Rocky Mountain Dance Theatre, our non-profit performing arts organization has been in Cody, Wyoming. Elizabeth Fernandez, Founder and Executive Director, graduated with honors from the University of Northern Colorado where she received degrees in Dance Teaching/Movement Analysis and Dance Kinesiology. While at UNC, Elizabeth was a member of the University of Northern Colorado Dance Theatre and Colorado Dance Theatre. Born and raised in Cody, Wyoming; Elizabeth dreamed of producing a dancing show about the Wild West. In 2016, this dream became a reality with RMDT’s first summer production of "Wild West Spectacular" and in 2018 it became a full-fledged musical including well known songs accompanied by Cynthia Kaelberer, a well-versed local pianist and RMSA piano teacher. The production’s lighting designer, Charles Houghton and Scenic Designer, Casey Kearns now both freelance with backgrounds in college academia. Every year the cast continues to grow, and the show evolves, highlighting the talents of our performers. Being associated with a dance & arts school also offers unique opportunities for cast members to expand, challenge, and/or continue dance and musical theatre training themselves and/or teaching during the summer.
