Performance Riverside Announces 25th Anniversary Season
Performance Riverside has gone decidedly retro with its 25th Anniversary Season, which includes South Pacific, Annie Get Your Gun, Peter Pan, Sensational Showtunes III: You Asked For It, and Guys and Dolls.
“We’ve really listened to what our audience has been telling us with their box office dollar,” says Rey O’Day, Performance Riverside’s Producing Artistic Director. “In the past year, our productions of Man of La Mancha, West Side Story, and The King and I have repeatedly proven the drawing power of “big book” musicals with high name recognition. It’s something we do very well, and our twenty-fifth anniversary offered us the chance to give our audiences what they want….a season of Broadway gold.”
