Hi and welcome to the Historic Rialto Theater’s website! This site was created to let you see what is going on as we renovate this beautiful, historic theater. Please come back often and see what’s going on here and the progress that we are making due to your wonderfully generous contributions. We are anxiously looking forward to the day when all the restoration is completed and we are able to open the doors to the public for the many wonderful things that will be for your entertainment. With your continued donations, time, support, and physical help, we will make our town’s dream a reality!
Your Rialto is shaping up with a new look and store front including a ticket booth. This is only the beginning of phase 1 and in a couple of weeks you will also see a second set of fire-rated glass doors near this new ticket booth. Check out the new look when you attend the first performance of the Rialto Players (Support Fremont County’s newest theater troupe in their permanent home!) in “Exit Laughing” February 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25. Tickets are on sale now at the Rialto — Monday – Friday, 10am – 2pm or in Florence: Big D’s, Rocky Mountain Bank and Trust, and The Pour House. In Cañon City: The Hive/ Coming Home Realty, or Cañon City Chamber of Commerce. Get yours now, you won’t be disappointed!!
