The Ritz Players are an award-winning community theatre organization that strives to present high-quality performances, staged here at The Ritz Theatre. They believe in the power of live theatre to ignite the imagination, stimulate thought, offer an avenue for creative expression, and provide entertainment. Through their productions, workshops for young people and outreach programs, they strive to integrate theatre into the lives of the people who come into contact with their organization.
Becoming active in or supporting community theatre helps to create a better place for us all to live and work. The Ritz Players are always looking for new members and people that would like to help. If you have a special talent or interest (i.e. sewing, painting, acting, etc.) please contact their President, Michael Steyer.
