Fun, nostalgic theatre. Unique shows, intimate audience with great accustics.
"The Ritz". The words conjure images of glamor and style; however, that's not quite the case here. Here in Brunswick "The Ritz" is a case of almost forgotten architectural wonder and glory, with small murals dotting the alley side. A 3 story brick structure, the access is restricted, and it sports a really neat, retro style sign - a leftover from the 50's, no doubt. In need of restoration this theater has a lot of nice bones, plus a glamorous history when Brunswick was more a shipping / maritime town, and before the fishing industry fished itself out of business, and priced itself out of competition with overseas suppliers (though Brunswick remains a seafood port, albeit in a local, minor way).
I loved the play Little Annie Jr!! Great place!
Have wonderful dinner and movie events. Just saw The Seven Year Itch and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with food catered by local restaurant Indigo Coastal Shanty.
IF you go into Brunswick to walk around, this is a definite "must-see" on Brunswick's main business / historic "drag" for architectural buffs, and history buffs as well. With some luck and some funding perhaps the town or an individual will restore this building. I rather suspect the upper floors could be devoted to mixed use residential/light industry, while the main theater would hopefully be restored to its past glory since, as I understand it, the acoustics are quite good.
For a small-town historic theater, it's great. The community has done a nice job creating a very usable space. It has main level and balcony seating and can accommodate stage productions as well as movies.
