The Ritz Theatre

Est. 1929
Corpus Christi, Texas

At nearly 100 years old, The Ritz Theatre in Corpus Christi is ready to reclaim her place in the spotlight. Shuttered in 1989, the jaw-dropping atmospheric theatre once introduced talking movies (and air conditioning) to South Texas. It hosted music acts ranging from Waylon Jennings to The Pointer Sisters and Metallica to Willie Nelson.

With your help, we can rehabilitate the Ritz Theatre and bring this South Texas treasure back as a cultural and entertainment landmark – so the show can go on.

The mission of The Ritz Theatre, Inc, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization:
Our mission is to revitalize the historic 1929 Ritz Theatre and develop vibrant spaces for performing arts, culture, and education.
