The Riverside Center, est. June 18th, 1998, is noted for musical productions of the highest quality, and now features live music. Part of the Fredericksburg area’s thriving cultural arts community, and just off of I-95, Riverside Center invites locals and travelers alike to enjoy a plated three-course gourmet meal served by the performers and the enchantment of live theatre in a beautiful facility. Motorcoach tours are also welcome for dinner and show. Each week we offer evening dinner theatre performances Thursday through Saturday and matinee performances on Wednesday and Sunday.

Our Children’s Theatre presents lively, shorter productions for children of all ages. Selected Saturday’s at 12:00 feature a Snack Bar before the show and autograph/photo session after. Selected Tuesdays and Thursdays show begins at 11:30, with seating beginning at 10:30 if you wish to pack in your own lunch. This is the perfect chance to build future theatre fans, or just entertain the kids for a spell.
