Riverside Theatre’s Production Talkbacks
Riverside is excited to invite you to attend post-show talkbacks with the cast, the artistic staff, and members of the greater community after select performances. These talkbacks offer a unique opportunity to engage with members of the creative team on the process of creating a production, as well as the larger themes and societal contexts addressed in the show.
Talkbacks are free and open to all. If you have chosen another date to see the show, please consider coming just for the talkback.
