Ritz Company Playhouse

Happy New Year to all of our friends and family. We hope to back on the stage and you in the seat this coming summer season. We wish you health and happiness in the New Year.

It’s weird to think that this our first year in over 40 years that we aren’t doing our Christmas show. We miss seeing everyone but still wanted to spread some holiday cheer. We hope you enjoy our paintings and lights. Thank you to the one and only, Debby Waldron for her wonderful paintings and of course to our fearless leader, Sandy Gabrielson for the lights.

Support our friends over at Hawley United Methodist Church for their livestream handbell concert with the Joyful Ringers on Sunday at 2:00p.

Our local Lake Region IGA and The Beer Store painted their windows to get in the holiday spirit and included some great local landmarks including the Hawley Public Library and our wonderful theatre!!

Thank you to the Greater Pike Community Foundation for their support of the Ritz! We are so excited to be able to take care of some much needed indoor projects and hope to see you all in 2021!

Want to take dance class with our very own Caroline Lehman or Alison Hoffmann? They are offering dance classes for kids and adults over at The Hawley Hub! https://thehawleyhub.com/

We have lost another wonderful Ritz volunteer this past week. Bruce Kovatch was a fixture in our concession stand for many years, not only serving snacks but also working alongside all of our ushers. Bruce was always there to greet everyone and cheer us on after a show. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family, especially his wife Ann, who was a long time Ritz volunteer in the box office.

Our friends over at the Hawley Public Library are having an electronic recycling day this weekend. This is a great way to not only get rid of some junk but to also support our local library!

We miss all of our Ritz family and our meetings look a little different. We are still meeting to see what new things we can bring to you our loyal friends. What would you guys like to see us do?
