The Role of Membership SupportAnnual membership plays a significant role in supporting Riverside Theatre’s operating budget. Membership gifts are the second largest source of income for the theatre.

Best of all, as an investment in one of the area’s most respected cultural institutions, your Theatre membership also benefits our community as a whole.

We invite you to join them today with your tax-deductible membership contribution – your commitment to continuing the Riverside tradition of professional theatre that entertains, educates and inspires.
Support Riverside Children's Theatre
Riverside Children’s Theatre involves and benefits youth of all interests and abilities. Many of RCT’s programs are available at a reduced rate or free of charge. One-half of RCT’s income is derived from door sales and tuition; the other half must be subsidized through private donations.
Support is needed to provide these positive programs for our children. Your gift can make a difference by enabling RCT to continue to keep classes and shows affordable, employ the best youth drama specialists to mentor our youth, reach out to under-served schools and neighborhoods, offer free transportation to classes, and be a partner and resource to local community groups and schools.
