Friends of the Rivertown Theaters

Our mission is to benefit, improve, and raise awareness of the City of Kenner's Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts so that the buildings are well equipped to continue serving the Greater New Orleans area as an outlet for quality family theatrical entertainment, as well as creating the opportunity for community families to learn about and participate in enriching theatrical experiences. Current goal- to renovate the lighting system in the children's theater

Friends of the Rivertown Theaters was formed with the purpose of raising funds to purchase and maintain necessary theatrical equipment, building renovations, beautification of the property, raising community awareness of the existence of the theaters and Kenner's Rivertown district, and offering opportunities to participate in theatrical productions.

The organization holds fundraising events, produces children's theater, solicits donations and sponsorships, and sells merchandise at events taking place at the theaters.

Funds raised by Friends of the Rivertown Theaters will be used for maintenance and renovations of the city-owned public buildings, and lessening the burdens of government by purchasing / maintaining theatrical equipment. Any equipment purchases become the public property of the City of Kenner. Funds will also be used to present children's theatrical productions, and to offer scholarship opportunities for children in the community to participate in theater summer camps
