A Note From Our Directors...

The world of theatre and the performing arts has seen many drastic changes throughout the last two years. Our production of Frozen Jr. was originally scheduled for December 2020; needless to say, we were more than happy to finally begin rehearsals earlier this year. 

We are incredibly proud of all the kids in this production for their inspiration, hard work, and dedication to the performance. We have had so much fun working with them and we are excited to see them onstage again in the future. 

As we come to the conclusion of our show, we are thankful for the commitment of each member of our cast. We are also very thankful for each other; it has been a pleasure to share our time and commitment to theatre together.

We have watched the members of our cast collaborate and create together. These performances have helped us to realize that the spirit and power of theatre resonates not only within an individual, but within all of us together. 

Last but certainly not least, we are thankful for you, our dedicated patrons and community members. We are glad to have you back. Enjoy the show!

Reitz Theater Receives $300,000 Grant to Fund New Building

Cultural Resources, Incorporated (CRI), the parent organization for the Reitz Theater, has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, Connect FM reports.

The grant was given to fund the construction of a new facility next to the current property on Scribner Avenue in DuBois.

"We've seen many changes to our cultural space since we acquired the building back in 1991, but none quite as profound as this opportunity," says Lisa Rutherford, CRI President and founding member. "I am proud, grateful, and blessed to work with such dedicated people and such a supportive community,"

Currently, the space is limited, with all set-building completed on the stage, which allows for little rehearsal space. The new building will provide the theater with a place for set construction, additional rehearsal space, increased show capacity, and accessibility to the stage.

This project has been in the works since 2016.
