Riverside Theatre

Ron Clark, Jody Hovland and Bruce Wheaton founded Riverside Theatre in 1981 in Iowa City, Iowa. Riverside mostly performs in their 3,200 square-foot theatre with a 118-seat house and a proscenium stage that can be converted to three-quarter or round. They also offer an annual Riverside Theatre Shakespeare Festival which first premiered in June of 2000 at the outdoor stage in Lower City Park in Iowa City.

Riverside Theatre is the only resident, professional, non-profit theatre company within a 30-mile radius of Iowa City. It has a full season of works, both classic and new, plus a touring schedule and a summer youth program in the classics. Riverside Theatre employs more than 100 artists each year including actors, designers and technicians. Year-round staff includes five full-time employees and six part-time employees. The organization is governed by a 15-member volunteer board of directors and is supported by hundreds of volunteers each year.
