WELCOME TO THE RIVERSIDE THEATRE
WELCOME TO THE RIVERSIDE THEATRE
The historic Riverside Church in Morningside Heights built a theatre on site in 1960. Known then simply as The Theatre at the Riverside Church, the facility was founded upon the belief that the arts are a transforming power in peoples’ lives. We are still dedicated to that fundamental belief.
GUESS WHAT, WE RENOVATED!!!
The Riverside Theater is full of potential. It is a beautiful and historic space that was neglected. All it needed was some upgrades and repairs. With the help of The Riverside Staff, we were able to get the Theater where it needed to be.
We repaired our Counter Weight System so that our staff can work safely. Updated ALL technical equipment for lighting, audio and video to give the client more versatility and of course, working equipment. Replaced all the soft goods on stage and reupholstered the house seats so that the space looked neater and cleaner. Finally, we darkened the floors and walls to make the space more intimate and bring focus to the stage. With these changes, the client has an affordable place to work and create art in a facility at its best capacity. Welcome to the new TRT!
Our 250 seat theatre is fully equipped and staffed to host all sorts of artistic events. Rent our space to present your next play, musical, opera, recital, dance concert, orchestral performance, film screening, or whatever new performance art you can imagine. We’re accessible in all senses of the word.
