A rare community theater with a proscenium stage - and the only live theater venue in Hyde Park - Riverside is located in the historic French’s Opera House in Logan Square. Our 14,000 square foot facility features a 156-seat opera house, a spacious dance studio and rehearsal space, a scene shop, a lounge, and several meeting and rehearsal rooms.

 

We host several main stage theatrical performances every year, from all-youth productions to family-friendly shows to challenging plays and musicals aimed at adults. We also host recitals, meetings, fundraisers, and community gatherings, making us a key attraction and connector for the entire neighborhood.
