Riverlea's Big Move
Riverlea Theatre is officially forty years old and we have seen some pretty big changes over the years.
Riverlea Theatre was established in 1984 and has been a significant contributor to the social and thriving arts environment in Hamilton. Riverlea is home to three performance groups – Hamilton Musical Theatre, Hamilton Playbox, and Stagecraft Acting School.
Riverlea provides affordable, quality theatre for the Hamilton public, encouraging adults and children to develop confidence, performance and social skills. Our venue is well known for its friendly atmosphere.
