Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts

I had the pleasure of seeing Peter Pan at the Rivertown Theater and had a great time. The play had some really standout performances and the actors (even the young kids) were awesome! They really put on a professional and quality show. The sets and costumes were all very detailed and looked great.
It’s a small theater so they are no bad seats. We bought our tickets late so we got seats in the very last row and it wasn’t bad at all! The seats are elevated so you don’t have to worry about someone tall sitting in front of you. However, the ticket prices ($ 38) are the same whether you buy the first row or the last row so plan ahead and buy tickets early if you have a seat preference.
They were selling minimal concessions of soft drinks and adult bevs. They also had a drink called Tinkerbelle Tea that was basically a Shirley temple. I thought it was a cute idea how they tied it into the theme and was a cute option for kids. Drinks had to be consumed in the lobby and were not allowed in theaters unless it was bottled water.
The only thing this theater didn’t have that sets it apart from other big productions was they did not have an orchestra pit so all music was piped through the speakers. Not a big deal though, you still get a great show for a good price.

A fun intimate theater. There are actually two theaters there. The wife and I enjoyed a fun evening of tap and live jazz.
Parking is good. It is easy to get in an out. There is also a nice Italian Restaurant close by.

Saw snowhite with the entire family and it was super fun and relaxing — laid back atmosphere and not too pricy (8 bucks) though that adds up when you have 4 kids.

Here’s a fun fact about me, that I’m not proud of, but I’m going to admit: I don’t see nearly enough plays. Well, considering I live in a city that is always putting on fantastic productions, I really should find myself in a theatre more often. With that said, it should be a surprise to no one that I had never had the opportunity to see a show at the Rivertown Repertory Theatre.
Located in the deep recesses of Kenner, the Rivertown Repertory Theatre is a fantastic theatre that features regular productions. Last night, a friend brought me along to see a production of «A Chorus Line». It had been years since I had seen a musical (I think that last one I saw was at the Saenger, pre Katrina), so this is territory that I hadn’t covered in quite a few years.
Besides, the greatness of the place, the thing that I was most impressed by was the sound quality of the place. The theatre is huge, and although we were sitting way in the back, the cast was mic’d to perfection, so that everything was crystal clear and there was zero feedback. The performance itself was excellent, and it makes you proud to know that there is such musical acting talent, right here in our own backyard.
The next performance at Rivertown is going to be Chicago, and since it’s one of my faves, I definitely plan on checking it out and even bringing a few friends.

The whole cast for A Chorus Line were simply amazing! What a play I saw this past weekend… incredible singing, great acting, and wonderful dancing! I would recommend all to see this if you can. Tickets were $ 30 and it is worth every penny and more! The theatre is wonderful too. This place needs more exposure so others can experience this treasure in Kenner.

I went here to see the play, Secondary Cause of Death. The play was excellent! The theatre is large and the seats are comfy. Plus, the acoustics are great. At intermission, you can buy drinks (water, soda and cocktails). The staff was friendly and the restrooms were clean (though they could use a few more stalls).
They have a pre-​show buffet, but I’ll have to check that out next go-​around. Parking is in the neighborhood areas and is relatively easy.
