From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Riverside Theatre is located at the University of Ulster at Coleraine, Northern Ireland. It was opened in 1976 and is the third-largest professional theatre in Northern Ireland. It is architecturally unique in Ireland for its flexible staging facilities. The Riverside theatre won a design award in the year of its completion, and another shortly after for its provision for disabled patrons.

It is an established touring venue. It features productions from all over the island of Ireland, from Great Britain, mainland Europe and North America. The Riverside programme incorporates drama, contemporary dance, rock bands, ballet, opera, variety, children's shows, pantomime, music recitals and recordings for television and radio.

The theatre is used to stage student productions, giving Drama and Thetare Studies students at the University of Ulster the opportunity to experience and perform in a professional environment.
