The Ritz Theaters mission is to create a vibrant professional performing arts venue in the city of Newburgh that revitalizes the local economy, enriches the education of youth, and enhances community pride.
Located on the corner of Broadway and Liberty Street in Newburgh, New York, the Ritz Theater is the last remaining historic theater in the city. Neglect and fire have claimed the others. It is our goal to restore this legendary theater, where stars such as Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra made debut performances, where Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Prima belted timeless tunes, and where countless memories were made. Our goal for the restoration of the Ritz is to create a venue for live performances, provide employment training and educational opportunities for the residents of our community, and provide a home for local arts and performance groups. By saving and preserving Newburgh’s forgotten legacy for future generations, we will support the city’s cultural rebirth, which is only just beginning.

Thank you for your comment Tinseltoes. When the Ritz first opened in 1933 it was named the Ritz Theatre. The theater and building has since changed hands and been renamed over the decades (for example it was Cinema I Cinema II for a while). Since purchasing the building in 2002, we are established as a non-profit organization and named the Ritz Theater Newburgh, Inc. (a 501 © (3) organization). We are harkening back to the original name as closely as we can. The current Marquee is in need of restoration, and should be completed by this fall. Please stay tuned for updates!
