Long Description:from Cinema Treasures:
Once the Ritz Theatre of the Atlas Theatre Company chain of
Denver, and also known as the Jewell Theatre, it is now home to the
Thrillseekers indoor climbing attraction.
Today:
The manager of Thrillseekers told me that this theater, besides
the names Jewell and Ritz, was also called the Gomez and for a
short time, Kitty's III (sadly, a porn theater).
He also told me that the climbing walls are self supporting and
were not built into the walls of the theater. Many of the "crown"
decorations are still preserved under the climbing walls.
