The Ritz Theatre in Tiffin, OH, & Everything You Need to Know

History of the Theater

Inspired by the magnificent 19th-century European opera houses and concert halls, the Ritz Theatre in Tiffin, OH, was built in 1928. The original builders, Dan Kerwin and Adam Ritzler, envisioned a movie palace more spectacular than anything in the area. After its completion in only nine months, the Ritz Theatre quickly became one of the region’s most popular theaters as thousands of patrons packed inside to hear the Ritz Quality Orchestra.

The Theater’s Design

Renovated in 1998 to replicate its original condition, the Ritz boats impressive Italian Renaissance design. With its black onyx marble walls, hand-painted stencils, and mosaic tiles, the theater’s design is an experience in itself. As you make your way into the inner lobby, you’ll feel as though you’ve escaped to an Italian villa! Just beyond the lobby, the auditorium showcases 30-foot high murals of picturesque gardens and a 1,200-pound Czechoslovakian crystal chandelier.

Upcoming Events

Equally impressive as the theater’s design are the captivating performances that take place on stage. The Ritz Theatre is packed with fabulous events all year long. Be sure to take a look at the calendar of events to see upcoming shows. You can also check out the theater’s Facebook page for exciting updates and information. Past productions have included The Addams Family, Shrek the Musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Misérables, Hairspray, and The Sound of Music. Regardless of which show you decide to attend, you won’t be disappointed at the Ritz!
