River City Playhouse

River City Playhouse is a non-profit theater in Jacksonville, Florida. It is run by a professional theater company as a children's theater. It is a "Tot" theater with productions mostly for preschool children to second grade. Much of the plays are fairy tales like Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Goldilocks and others. The theater is open year round. School children are welcome in groups, should their school wish to set up a field trip for the current performance. Its opening in summer allows visitors to Jacksonville to also experience theater.

It is also part of the educational theater program which provides plays based on teaching for a variety of grade levels. It is located at 2642 Rossell Street. Being a children's theater the cost of the tickets are usually extremely affordable. Parents are welcome to join in watching the performances. In fact they must stay if the children are not part of a chaperoned school group.

The River City Playhouse has been in operation for 33 years. At any given time they have 7 to 20 employees, based on performances and acting needs. They do not host classes in acting, but they do teach a little about theater history and what it takes. The shows are usually kept to a lower level education with more fun than information.
