RE: Friends of the Ritz Survey Begins

Toccoa, GA,

Friends of the Ritz, Inc., a new non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for additional programming, marketing and building enhancements at the Historic Ritz Theatre, is asking the public to share their thoughts about the Historic Ritz Theatre by taking the organization’s just-released ten question survey.

The survey questions can be found on the Historic Ritz Theatre website home page, the Historic Ritz Theatre at the Schaefer Center Facebook page, and via email to potential Friends of the Ritz, Inc. members. The Ritz Theatre website address is www.ritztheatretoccoa.com. A direct link is also attached.

“The survey results will help guide our organization as we make future decisions on how best to help the Historic Ritz Theatre achieve its full potential in our community,” says Friend of the Ritz, Inc. President Keith Kozicki. 

The survey asks for input on a variety of practical issues to Ritz Theatre patrons such as upcoming programming preferences, potential ticket pricing options and feedback on possible areas of future theatre enhancements.

According to Friends of the Ritz, Inc. Membership Committee Chair Marie Cochran, “As the Ritz celebrates its 80th year, it is poised to be a destination for the cultural life of longtime residents and newcomers alike. The board needs to hear from a diverse range of 'voices' so that we have a community conversation about its promising future."

The results of the survey will be discussed at the next Friends of the Ritz, Inc. Board meeting on Saturday, June 22^nd at 10 AM at the Historic Ritz Theatre. The meeting is free and open to the public.

Friends of the Ritz, Inc. has been working behind the scenes to benefit Toccoa’s premier arts and entertainment venue and will launch several initiatives which will also be unveiled at the meeting.
