The move to the new downtown location was completed in March 2020 - just as COVID shut everything down. It's been difficult to see this beautiful new theatre sit empty for the past year. Although Riverfront did do a couple of virtual productions, it's just not the same. Greeting audiences as they walk through the door and seeing their smiling faces is what has been missed most. This new theatre is pretty special and what's made it that way is the many volunteers who have been the heart of Riverfront Playhouse for more than 40 years. They're the people who make the theatre experience joyful for everyone. Now that the time to open is drawing near, we're reaching out. The cleaning up and dusting off and final touches are taking place, but there's a lot to do. We're looking for people to help with tech, office duties and electrical. We're going to need bartenders, greeters, ticket takers, and much more. If you can help in any way, please send an email to info@riverfrontplayhouse.net and let us know your interests/skills. Thank you!.

The goal is to share Arts Opportunities with those interested.

We would like to share Art Workshops that are centered in Trinity and neighboring counties with residents and artists who wish to expand their experience.

We would like to reach out to Artists, Musicians, and Vendors who would like to participate in Crafts Festivals, our 1st Saturday Art Walk, and the Farmers’ Markets.

The upcoming July Show at the Highland is called “Red, White and Blue.” The concept is featuring works created using those three colors. Although symbolically patriotic, the subject matter does not have to be. Any medium; paintings, ceramics, sculpture, photography, etc. will be considered. You’re the artist – what can you come up with?
