Riverside taps a top catalogue
of speakers.
In recent years, Riverside has created
a new audience with Howl at the Moon
and Comedy Zone Experience on the
more intimate Waxlax stage, adding the
bonus of its Live in the Loop outdoor
festivities those evenings.
A Riverside season brings full-blown
costumed musicals and thoughtprovoking
plays to the Stark stage and
smaller, critically acclaimed performances
to the Waxlax theater. My Fair
Lady, Evita and Next to Normal are on the
schedule for 2019.

the arts alive. Staying in touch with the
ever-changing evolution of modern day
theatrical storytelling is a priority for
Cornell and Riverside Theatre.

FLORIDA’S LARGEST PROFESSIONAL THEATRE
Riverside Theatre today.
Shows were produced wherever it could find a stage and its
theater paraphernalia was stored in any available spot around
town. Realizing the need to plan for the future, the Vero Beach
Community Theatre Trust was formed, a half-million dollars was
raised and ground was broken for Riverside Theatre. When the
