In a time when national discourse is at a fever pitch, and we grapple with disconnection in an ever-connected world, stories matter more than ever. Stories that delight, that inspire, that meet the moment in sometimes challenging ways; that bring us together to experience something profound, collectively: Riverside Theatre is a home for such stories…A couple clinging to fun and games to mask a deeper wound, adults behaving like children – when they should be protecting them, a place of refuge becoming a place of suspicion, an artist asking what her family past and Iowa’s history mean to the present, a man charting a path forward when his fragile structure is shaken, a couple in a late season of life deciding to say yes to love, and one of Shakespeare’s best known comedies.
