Built in a town of only 17,000 in 1928, this Italian Renaissance theatre was purchased at a sheriff’s sale in 1981. A non-profit group purchased the theater and went about the job of reopening the Ritz.
The interior and exterior of the Ritz has intricate patterns of plaster work, concrete forms, brass and stone designs and scroll work, all hand painted in an Italian Renaissance motif.
