Three Rivers Chamber of Commerce
First opened in 1948, the theater was the hang-out for two generations of Three Rivers’ families–the venue for countless first dates and dreams of yesteryear.
The theater closed in 1981. Nearly 20 years later, the building was purchased by the Three Rivers Economic Development Committee, who provided funding for the restoration of the theater. It is leased to Virginia Herring of Three Rivers. The Rialto is the only operating movie theater in a three-county area.
Now showing first-run movies, the building is equipped with the latest in state-of-the-art sound and video equipment, while capturing that small town feel.
The exterior was restored as closely to its original appearance as possible, using the original neon marquee. A new feature of the theater is the special “cry room” designed for parents of young children. This soundproof room features rocker seats, speakers, and a one-way glass window so the movie may be viewed in privacy.
