Riverside Theatre's Shakespeare Festival- now through July 11


There's still time to visit Riverside Theatre's Shakespeare Festival, ongoing in Lower City Park now through July 11. If you've never attended, you're in for a treat, and the spectacular weather of the last week makes it even more fun. Riverside alternates Shakespeare's Love’s Labour’s Lost with Romeo and Juliet. Love's Labor's Lost is directed by Theodore Swetz and is shown on July 3, 6, 8, 11. Romeo and Juliet is directed by Riverside Theatre founder Ron Clark and can be seen on July 2, 7, 9, 10. Read more about these performances on the Iowa Theatre Blog or in reviews in the Gazette or Daily Iowan posted on Riverside Theatre's website.


Based in downtown Iowa City, Riverside Theatre is celebrating 30 years of excellence. The Shakespeare Festival is one portion of the Theatre's lineup. In order to pull of the Festival, Riverside showcases a separate 2010 Acting Company, as well as a 2010 roster of interns. Riverside has been on the Iowa City Press Citizen's "Best of the Area" list for 2001-2009, and KCRG's A-list  as "Best Theatre Group 2009." The Iowa Theatre Blog was founded by Matt Falduto in 2007.
