The Riverdale Children’s Theatre
was founded in 2010 by Derek and Becky Woods.
Since then, it has evolved into a 501c-3 non-profit Theatre Arts education program that serves families
in the Bronx, Yonkers and beyond.
RCT produces full scale musical theatre productions, offers music and dance programs, and distributes thousands of dollars in scholarship each year so that any child can have access to their high quality arts program.
Over 96% of their students are accepted into the competitive NYC Performing Arts High Schools, and many of their students are going on to professional careers and attending some of the nations’ top performing arts programs, colleges and universities. Riverdale Children's Theatre has been cited in Backstage Magazine and as one of the leading children’s theatre companies in the United States, and were recently profiled on CNN as a 2021 "Champion for Change"!
