Riverside Center for the Performing

On June 18, 1998, Riverside Center Dinner Theater and Conference Facility raised the curtain on the theater’s inaugural production of Oklahoma!, realizing Rollin E. Wehman’s dream of musical theatre in a dinner theater format for the Fredericksburg community. A circle of devoted investors built a beautiful facility with not only a traditional proscenium stage, Virginia’s only dinner theatre fly loft, and seating at tables on tiered levels for over 400, but also a chandeliered lobby and ballroom for community events. In the 27 years since, hundreds of critically acclaimed mainstage musicals, plays, guest artists and Children’s Theatre productions continued to validate Mr. Wehman’s vision.
