TWO RIVER PLUS
Two River Plus expands and deepens the audience experience through original artistic programming, concerts, and community gatherings. Building upon the theater’s subscription season, Two River Plus provides many free and low-cost opportunities to engage alongside our signature full-scale productions
With Two River Plus, we’re expanding the definition of what a theater space can be.
We believe the strongest relationships with our audiences are built over time, through shared experiences and meaningful moments of connection. This theater is for everyone and we are proud to forge new pathways for even more people to enjoy it.
From artist-led conversations and interactive events to poetry and comedy to music and family-friendly activities, Two River Plus offers even more inclusive ways to discover something new and make yourself at home at Two River Theater.
Programming will take place throughout the theater’s spaces—including the Joan and Robert Rechnitz Theater, Marion Huber Theater, and activating unconventional performance spaces such as the Victoria J. Mastrobuono Library, the Lobby, and the Plaza. Featuring over 50+ distinct events throughout the year, this Two River Plus lineup is just the beginning. Additional performances, special pop-ups, and original programs will be announced throughout the season on a rolling basis.
