Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts invites you to witness two distinct yet equally captivating productions: 'Something Rotten', a musical comedy taking you back to the 1590s where Shakespearean antics are turned on their head, and 'Annie, the Musical', a heartwarming tale of an orphan’s journey to find family and hope. Both promise laughter, inspiration, and unforgettable performances.

1. Something Rotten
Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
