It's taken a village to breathe new life into this old space. Anyone who has worked on renovating an old house can imagine the effort it's taken to raise the Rialto. It wasn't that long ago that the stage area you see was regularly underwater whenever it rained, the seats you sit in were sitting in auctions and parking lots waiting to be claimed, and there was no functional air conditioning (and we won't even describe the state of the bathrooms...). Thanks to all who have worked through the past ten years to reclaim her and to all those who will spend time in the future to continue to restore her. We hope you'll join us to help in the future; we need your time, your money but, most of all, your passion to take the Rialto Theater to the next level.
Thanks to all the hands who helped on this production, in our gallery, and to those on & off the stage who help keep the Rialto alive today!
