About the Riverdale Theater Companies
Riverdale Rising Stars
Founded in 2000, our award-winning teen program is the flagship of all of our RPAC theater companies. Open to 7th-12th graders, our teens perform two musicals and one play per season. Each summer we perform a Summer Stock production which features Current Rising Stars and alumni who are attending college. Participation is by audition only.

Our award-winning Junior program is open to children 3rd-6th grade. There are two full-scale musicals for this age group each season. Participation is by audition only.

Little Rising Stars
Little Rising Stars is an introductory Musical Theater program for 1st – 3rd grade students who want to learn more about musical theater. Classes are held once a week, for 45 minutes, with two final performance opportunities!
Riverdale Rep
The Rep is our adult theater company, open to adults ages 18+. We have participants whose ages range from 18-80! This program gives adults in our community an opportunity to reconnect with an art form that they may have left behind. The social aspect, combined with community building is as important as the shows themselves! The Rep typically participates in two musicals per year; one just for Rep members and one that is multi-generational. Participation is by audition only.
