Riverdale Rep

The Rep is our adult theater company, open to adults ages 18+.  We have participants whose ages range from 18-80! This program gives adults in our community an opportunity to reconnect with an art form that they may have left behind. The social aspect, combined with community building is as important as the shows themselves! The Rep typically participates in two musicals per year; one just for Rep members and one that is multi-generational. Participation is by audition only.
