The Rivertown Arts Center is located in a historic bank building built in 1923. It is operated by the Antioch Foundation for Arts and Culture and was created to give local artists additional opportunities to showcase their art and offer art classes.

Through an atmosphere of friendship and learning, people expand their skills or share them with others. With access to materials and tools, ideas are translated into different forms, whether it is paintings, puppets, poems, plays, hobby groups, wood carving, costume design or experimenting with creating primitive shelters.

Critics and audiences alike sing the praises of Riverside’s theaters for the performing arts. From Broadway musicals and local theater pieces to children’s theater that showcases the talents of local actors of all ages, Rivertown Theaters has been honored as “Theater of the Year,” “Theater Artists of the Year,” and their productions top “Best of” lists in every category.

If you love professional Broadway-level theater, join the theatergoers from New Orleans and beyond who have discovered this local gem and keep coming back for more top-notch theater entertainment.
