Pure joy emanates from our stage all year long.

Riverdale Rising Rising Stars, a competitive theater program for teens, was founded in 2000. Jr. Rising Stars, for 3rd-6th graders, followed in 2005. In 2007, an adult company, Riverdale Rep, launched. Our newest addition is Little Rising Stars, a 10-week program for 1st-3rd graders, with a heart-warming final performance.
Riverdale Y Performing Arts programs are run by industry professionals bringing a professional-quality standard to every production while emphasizing skills-building and team work for youth participants.
