What you experience here, is created here, by us, specifically for our stages.

Help us sustain professional casting, directing & choreography, costumes, music, sound & lighting, set construction and so much more! 

Patron Producers are critical for several reasons:

1. Financial Support: They provide the necessary funding, by donating $10,000, that covers the substantial costs of staging professional productions. From securing the rights to plays and hiring talented actors and directors to building sets and managing lighting, these costs can be significant. Patron Producers fill in the gap between ticket sales and the actual expenses, making it possible to produce high-quality, Broadway-level shows.

2. Artistic Excellence: Their support allows the Theatre to attract top-tier talent—both in front of and behind the scenes. By helping fund the production of complex and ambitious works, Patron Producers ensure that the artistic integrity and creative vision of the Theatre are realized at the highest possible standard.

3. Community Impact: With their sponsorship, the Theatre can continue to offer performances that enrich the local cultural landscape. This not only provides entertainment but also contributes to the cultural education of the community, fosters a love for the arts, and supports local Artists.

4. Sustainability: Ongoing financial backing from Patron Producers allows the Theatre to maintain a consistent and high-quality season. This helps the Theatre stay viable year after year, which in turn supports jobs, partnerships, and long-term growth.

5. Creating Opportunities: By acting as champions for the Theatre, Patron Producers help build relationships with other potential sponsors, donors, and community organizations. This network can lead to additional support, which benefits both the Theatre and the community at large.

Without Patron Producers, as a not-for-profit, Riverside Theatre would struggle to deliver the kind of quality and variety of productions audiences have come to expect. Patron Producers’ importance cannot be overstated.
