The tradition of quality Plays and Musicals continues on in schools throughout East Providence. Riverside Middle School will present its' performance of The Lion King this spring. The production has three evening performances on May 12, 13 and 14, 2016.

"We have a collaborative effort between the music and art departments," said choral director John Baldaia. "The masks for the play are being created by our art teacher Amy Rudis and her 8th grade advanced art class," said Baldaia. "This will be a big fully staged sound and light extravaganza. We try to give the students as near a professional youth musical theater experience as possible. The community will really enjoy this production."

There will be a pasta dinner fundraiser to support the production of The Lion King on Wednesday April 27th at 6:00 pm at RMS. Tickets are on sale at RMS office.
