A Note from the Producing Artistic Director

Hi Friends!  It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to The Riverside Center for the Performing Arts, and it is with great honor to have you here for our 26th Season with a lineup of blockbuster shows.  Theater Operations is now a 501 C 3, nonprofit organization.  This allows us to join the ranks of all the professional regional theater companies in the country.  It also allows us to fortify our theater by being able to accept grants, sponsorships, and donations at all levels.  Riverside Strong allows us to look to the future with confidence while building additional streams of revenue.

The performing arts are an essential component of the health and well-being of a community.  Riverside takes that responsibility very seriously and relishes the role that we play in our region and community.  We have become a safe space for people to leave their cares behind for a few hours and be transported to another time and place while participating in quality entertainment.  “It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear.”  We need you, and we are glad you are here.  You are just as much a part of the production as the performers and musicians on the stage.  That is why we choose these shows for you!

This Season is all about nostalgia with Jersey BoysThe Wizard of OzBeautiful: The Carole King Musical, a brilliant whodunit, and a musical gem with music by Marvin Hamlisch and book by Neil Simon, They’re Playing Our Song.  As I always say, “We all get to do what we love to do here at Riverside because all of you love coming here to support us.”  Thanks for the vote of confidence.  Thanks for your generosity.  Thank you for supporting the live arts!

Director's Notes

Music marks a generation and feeds the soul of a culture. Franki Valli and The Four Seasons did just that through the 1960s. You may have heard their songs on the radio and danced in your basement enjoying a fresh and new sound, seen them on the Ed Sullivan show, or heard them years later from the back seat of your parents’ station wagon. Wherever you may have been, I would imagine you will be moved to take a walk down your own memory lane with Riverside’s Jersey Boys.

While this musical is filled with familiar hits, the story of the Jersey boys and their rise to fame is marked with celebrations as well as hard knocks and tragedy. This is a show about relationships. Relationships between friends, family, and the creation of a legendary band. At a time in American history where a young man’s options to build a life and provide well for the ones he loved appeared to be the Army, the mob, or fame, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi, Franki Valli, and Bob Gaudio came together to form a band.  The ladies in their lives, young and old, played an integral part in fueling their dreams and the stars aligned. Every legend has a beginning, every human has a story.

We are grateful that we get to share the story of the Jersey Boys with you and that  you’ve come to join us!

Thank you for being here today and supporting Riverside Center for the Performing arts.
