The restrooms were clean; they also offered refreshments and beverages for purchase during intermission. I purchased my ticket at the box office before the show. There was not a bad seat in the house as all the seats were circled around the intimate stage. It was also immersive as the cast ran throughout the cleared aisles. Overall the play was very well put together and I enjoyed it. Tips: Remaining showings from the 13th-15th of 2024 Tickets purchased online or at the box office Plenty of parking

COZY COMMUNITY THEATRE! My Mom introduced me to this theatre-in-the-round a couple years ago and…read morewe've been coming ever since! The seats are comfortable, the views are solid, and the intimate setup of the venue makes this place quite immersive. Some of the productions are a bit hit-or-miss for me, but I really enjoy coming as the environment is pretty welcoming and they try to change up the schedule each year to accommodate to different age groups. RCP has snacks outside for sale and free coffee w/ a personal donation to the theatre group. I admire the resilience of this theatre and its staff as the Riverside Community Players have survived the COVID-19 pandemic, arson, and other challenges. Bravo!

The lobby was very clean and shiny, and the restrooms were large and clean. The theatre's interior was very beautiful and comfortable. Every comfortable seat in the theatre offers a perfect view of the stage, and the sound system was perfect. The employees were all very friendly and professional, and they assisted anyone and everyone who needed help. Though the music was a tad different from what we are used to on the radio, the performers worked hard and did a GREAT job of keeping the audience engaged and entertained.

The dancers were amazing, their energy was vibrant and fun, and everyone -- from the keiki to the kūpuna -- absolutely loved the performance. My baby boy was mesmerized, and it meant so much to me that he was celebrated with a true piece of his heritage. Vivian, who helped me plan everything, was wonderful to work with. He listened to my ideas and was so accommodating, even as my needs shifted during the planning process. He made everything easy and stress-free. I'd absolutely recommend them for anyone planning a lū'au or celebration filled with aloha.

From the incredible music and energy of the dancers to the delicious, authentic food, everything came together seamlessly. The entire experience felt truly magical. I even attempted a birthday speech in Hawaiian (pretty sure I butchered a few words ), but the aloha spirit they brought into the room made it feel easy and heartfelt. Their team created an atmosphere full of joy, culture, and love--and seeing my daughter smile the way she did said it all. If you want a celebration filled with real aloha, amazing entertainment, and outstanding food, I can't recommend Islanders Dancers & Hawaiian Catering enough. Mahalo for helping us make her 13th birthday so special!

What a lovely theatre. We love classic movie palaces and drove about 90 minutes to see a show here…read more The size is just right... not too big, not too small. The bathrooms were nicer than I expected. I heard they recently did a renovation and I thought expanding the lobby was a great idea. We saw the ballroom area on the second floor and wow, what a cool space that is. I had a few concerns though which I thought negatively affected my experience. During intermission I couldn't figure out why there was such a hold up exiting the theatre. Yes there were a number of older patrons who walked slow or with walkers, but that is totally fine. When I exited the auditorium I saw this HUGE bottle neck of the men's bathroom line, elevator line, people exiting the theatre and people entering the theatre... and to top it all off... they put the refreshment bar right there. OMG... it was so frustrating and such a bottleneck. I'd consider moving the refreshment bar to the main lobby area which seem to be much more spacious and give more room for the auditorium doors. While I thought the bathrooms were unexpectly large and spacious but there were some concerns I had. The line to the men's bathroom went well into the lobby, but the door needed to be handled by every person in line. I think a door stop might help to prop the door open and so not everyone had to touch the door. Every single person (hopefully) is washing their hands - but with a manual on/off lever, it just stalled the sink line. And, it made a mess with everyone's wet hands handling the faucet lever and walking to the paper towel dispenser. I think they could speed up the line and make less congeston by using automatic on/off faucets. This is what the Pantages recently did and it was a game changer. Same goes with the paper towel dispenser. Everyone had to wave their hand to get the towels to dispense. Ugg, it was sooooo slow. I'd much prefer the towel dispensers which would automatically dispense a towel immediately when one is ripped off. And, worst part, with just 2 dispensers in the men's bathroom, there was one that was not working with dead batteries. OMG... that should be a priority to check before opening the house. In many ways this is just inexcusable.

Opened on time, with quick security screening. There was a merch section and restrooms (spotless) located in the lobby. We had general seating tickets, so we had the freedom to choose where we sat. And what choices there were! The seating is varied and allows for comfortable seating for everyone. Whether you're in a large group, want a cozy high top for two, a counter seat to chat bar style with others, or want up close and personal floor access, there's a spot for you. There's even balcony seating! The sound system was clear and well balanced. My friend mentioned he would've liked it a little louder. Indeed, it was a "comfortable" volume. Our waitress was quick and friendly. She was fair, in that she told us up front they charge for water (I think it was 6 bucks). She said sometimes customers get upset about that. Our drinks were good and the price was about what we'd expect at a venue. We didn't order food, but the plates traveling by us had appealing presentation and smelled delicious! My first time here, but I'll certainly jump at the chance to come back!
