Landis Performing Arts Center, named for Ira Landis  (Superintendent of Schools, Riverside 1928-1951), has been the home of Performance Riverside for over 40 years.  Under the leadership of Gary Schultz, the first season of what was then known as RCC-CLO, opened in 1983 with South Pacific.  Gary led the organization through 14 seasons and over 95 productions before retiring.  In that time, the group was re-branded to Riverside Civic Light Opera (RCLO) and finally to Performance Riverside.  Since its beginning in 1983, Performance Riverside (RCLO) has produced over 180 unique musical titles, and over 200 musical productions in total.  It has also sponsored dozens of Family Series Productions, Big Band Concerts, and Artist Events. Today, Performance Riverside continues to support RCC’s Fine and Performing Arts with Broadway style musicals, Dance Concerts, and Music Events while continuing its long tradition of offering discount performances for school and youth groups with its Discovery Theatre outreach program.
