BASE : Play With a Purpose

There are thousands of cool things to do, ideas to think about, and people to meet... but who's gonna connect the dots? Who can make it happen? BASE is that connection. It's about fun – mixed with purpose and passion. It's a community of interesting and diverse people who want to get "it" done - whatever "it" is.

Stones in His Pockets

Hello BASE!

I'm Nicole, and I wanted to invite you to consider making Riverside Theatre a place you play! What's Riverside Theatre? (I'm so glad you asked.) RT is the only resident, professional, non-profit theatre company in Iowa City. We make it a priority to provide engaging, intimate and thought-provoking professional theatre for our audience. Sound interesting? Check out our season opener, Stones in His Pockets.

This hilarious show is set in a picturesque Irish village overrun by a big budget Hollywood film crew. Actors Tim Budd and Jim Van Valen play Charlie and Jake, two of the locally hired extras, and uproariously bring to life a cross section of other characters from this celebrity-crazed hamlet including the self-centered American star of the movie, the quirky crew and some pretty eccentric townsfolk. But when a stone on the path to the American dream leaves one boy broken, they find themselves at a bittersweet turning point. Stones in His Pockets opened on September 5 and has a run of 8 more performances until September 28.

Want to know about our discounts if you're under 30? Interested in how much you can save with a group of 10 or more? Want to help us by volunteering as an usher? Curious about the rest of our season?

Visit www.riversidetheatre.org or call the box office at 319-338-7672!

Hope to see you at the show!
