Theatre
Riverside strives to produce a play in the fall, a musical in the spring, and a musical in the summer. In November 2025, we were pleased to present The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as part of a glorious All Hallows Fest.
In March 2026, we brought back to the stage The Legend of Coyote Cal, an original musical written by Riverside Founder and Creative Director Peter Searby.
Coyote Cal is one of ten original Riverside musicals, some of which will soon be available for licensing
