We’re thrilled to invite you to our annual spring gala: SATURDAY on the Stage! Get ready for an exciting evening to *get fancy* and be entertained on the Wilson Family Stage. Indulge in delicious hors d’oeuvres, enjoy complimentary drinks, get carried away as you bid on exciting silent and live auction items, and sit with your nearest & dearest at a table under the lights. The highlight of the evening will be the eagerly awaited announcement of our 25/26 theatre season, with short previews from each show and Iowa City’s beloved Megan Gogerty serving as our emcee & auctioneer extraordinaire. Join us for a beautiful night celebrating and supporting the magic of theatre and Riverside’s special place in our hearts.
