A WALK IN THE WOODS
by Lee Blessing
Directed by Ron Clark
Jan 26 – Feb 12, 2023
Two superpower arms negotiators in the 1980s go on a series of nature walks as they try to solve nuclear proliferation – and prevent the next great conflict. A story of the past, now eerily prescient.
FEFU AND HER FRIENDS
by Maria Irene Fornés
Directed by Juliana Frey-Méndez
March 10 – April 2, 2023
One of the seminal plays of the 20th century, an experimental work that explores feminism and sexuality through the intimate lives of eight New England women in the 1930s. Taking full advantage of the flexibility that Riverside’s new home can provide, this play will transport the audience to several different “rooms” where the action of this tantalizing and surprising play takes place.

Sharon lives in Iowa City. After a recent divorce and with her son living across the country, she posts a listing for a roommate to fill the empty space of her home. Enter: Robyn, a fascinating woman who needs a place to hide and the chance to start over. A two-hander by a graduate of the U of I Playwrights Workshop that’s been called The Odd Couple meets Breaking Bad!
EVERYBODY

A beautiful, fluid, and modern riff on the 15th-Century play Everyman.

This Pulitzer Prize finalist asks big questions about the human condition in a way that only theatre can.
