Riverside Children’s Theatre (RCT) is the educational and youth-oriented arm of the Riverside Theatre, Inc.  Begun in 1980 by a group of Vero Beach, Florida parents with the goal to provide cultural enrichment opportunities for their children, the program affiliated with the Riverside Theatre and grew under its auspices.

Programs and services include after school and summer instruction in the performing arts, opportunities for local youth to participate on stage and back stage through in house productions, presenting professional, age appropriate theatre to children and their families, and community based outreach and scholarship programs to under served populations.

Mission

The mission of the Riverside Children’s Theatre is to assist in the personal development of the individual child through the unique educational value of the performing arts experience, fostering the life long joy of live theatre.

Community Outreach

Because RCT believes that a performing arts education can enrich the lives of all children and give each individual child life skills that will promote self confidence, improved social and communication skills, creative thinking and discipline, one of its major goals is to make its programs accessible to at risk youth.  This is accomplished through a multi-faceted approach that includes:

•    In-School performances and classroom workshops offered at no charge to local schools.
•    After school drama and dance enrichment programs taught through partnerships with neighborhood centers and school extended day programs.
•    A scholarship program that provides financial assistance to qualifying students.
•    Complimentary tickets to performances made available through partnerships with social services agencies.
