RE: Summer movies return to the Historic Ritz Theatre

Toccoa, GA  June 15, 2020 – For the first time since early March, the Historic Ritz Theatre will be opening our doors.  Our summer movie series is slated to start on Thursday, July 2^nd at 10:00am with additional showings at 3:00pm and 7:00pm.

To kick-off Independence Day weekend, we will be showing the award-winning blockbuster 1917.  Our family-friendly favorites return the following weeks with The Angry Birds 2 Movie on July 9^th, Jumanji: The Next Level, July 16^th, The Addams Family, July 23^rd, and Aladdin on July 30^th. 

Because of social distancing guidelines each showing will be limited to the first 100 guests, therefore our July movies will now be shown at 10:00am, 3:00pm, and 7:00pm.  We will also be following all CDC recommendations. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the theatre, bathrooms will be cleaned during and after each showing, and all chairs, door knobs, and fixtures will be cleaned with anti-bacterial spray.  Bathrooms will be limited to one person at a time. Concessions will be available and set up in front of the stage in the orchestra pit to help eliminate over-crowding in the lobby area. Please make plans to arrive at the theatre for your show time a little earlier than normal.

For those who remember the Ritz’s Saturday matinees, we are bringing those back on August 2^nd. Movie times will be at 10:00am and 2:00pm and include Frozen 2, Lion King, Secret Life of Pets 2, Dolittle, and Harriet.

As always, movies and concessions are only $1 each and we are cash only. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Tami Mayhugh, Ritz Theatre General Manager at tmayhugh@cityoftoccoa.com or at 706-244-0039.
