This renovated 1937 historic movie theater is a fabulous venue for music, theater and art. It is an intimate setting with less than 100 seats and not a bad seat in the house. They stage a variety of performances and there is always something for everyone to enjoy. The music and theater groups welcome talent of all types, from beginners to experienced, and are very friendly and encouraging. They even educate as well as entertain with music technique classes and drama workshops for youth. Go to their website to find out what's happening this month at www.rialtotheater.org.
