ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Now in its 5th year, the ever popular Vegas Nights returns to Riverside Theatre every weekend in July to enhance the scheduled evenings of the Comedy Zone and Howl at the Moon.
In addition to the professional stand-up comedians and dueling pianists performing on the Waxlax Stage, patrons are invited to our exciting Las Vegas-style casino night parties with live entertainment inside and outside the theatre. Play a game of chance at the blackjack and craps tables, or get a lucky hand at poker. Play with our ‘casino money’ and then cash in your winnings for the chance to win some great prizes. All proceeds from Vegas Nights benefit the Riverside Theatre for Kids Discount Tuition Program.
“Vegas Nights has become a summer tradition,” says Jon Moses, Managing Director of Riverside Theatre. “People enjoyed the different activities offered and really like that the funds raised help the children of the community discover their inner star. We know patrons will have a great time at Vegas Nights.”
Almost $50,000 in scholarships were given last season as part of Riverside Theatre for Kid’s Discount Tuition Program. The program allows every child the opportunity to attend classes and camps at Riverside regardless of financial need. Vegas Nights and the annual Festival of Trees are the two major fundraisers for Riverside Theatre for Kids.
The Live in the Loop outdoor stage will feature local bands on Friday and Saturday evenings and delicious, hot food is available for purchase at our Loop Grill and Bar.
The authentic casino-style gaming tables are provided for entertainment purposes only. (Must be 18 years or older to play.)
