About
Theatre by the River (TBTR) was formed in 2005 with a mandate to produce artistically provocative, socially relevant and financially accessible theatre. Shows are intimate, minimalist, entertaining, but above all urgently relevant. Theatre by the River seeks to connect -- artists to their craft, individuals to their fellow audience members, and audiences to their place in the unfolding story of human existence.
