  • Riverside Theatre 3250 Riverside Park Drive Vero Beach, FL 32963 (map)

Recognizing the Yale School of Drama as one of the nation’s pre-eminent forces in professional theater,  the Club arranged guided tours of the Riverside Theatre complex. The Riverside is the largest professional theater company in the state of Florida and has for 37 years done the extraordinary magic of bringing Broadway quality performances at Main Street prices to audiences from throughout south Florida. Auditions for each play take place in New York City and attract the best talent in the country, usually for a month’s rehearsals and a four to five week run.

Allen Cornell, CEO and Producing Artistic Director spoke over lunch in the atrium,

then ably fielded lively questions regarding play selection, small stage productions, and performer housing from Yalies and Harvard guests. Small group backstage tours of “Lost in Yonkers” wrapped up the visit.
