At an inn, far from the nustle of bustling metropolises, three couples fall in love... all over again.

Three generations of restless souls search for contentment at a summer cabin retreat in the intimate, poignant musical about love in the face of life, Riverwind. Upon its opening, The New York Times exclaimed, "Riverwind comes to life when it breaks into song!" Also described as ideal for audiences that "have a zest for life" and "have ever been in love," this moving portrait of love strikes a chord in everyone's heart.

At Riverwind, a tranquil inn on the banks of Indiana's Wabash River, three couples find their love lives on the rocks. Young Johnny is pining for Jenny, the proprietress' daughter. Fred and Louise are hoping to rekindle the fire that two decades of marriage has extinguished. Virginia and Burt's relationship is at a crossroads that could "altar" the futures that they have planned for themselves.,, but never fear!
