The Historic Ritz Theatre - Brunswick, Georgia

Kirsten Mussington Robinson

Attended the LOL Southern Soul Festival and had a great time. Theater very nice and historic feel. It was a gret time.

A cool historic spot to visit. Gallery display from local schools when we visited. Talked to a knowledgeable person about their history and work with local kids. Good work being done here.

The theatre is nice, and it's surrounded by local stores that you would like to go into and look around. Close to the beach. The staff was helpful and nice. The shows are top-notch. I was pleasantly surprised to see Mike Wileys Blood Done Sign My Name and adaption of Tim Tyson book with the same title. Please see any shows there. You will not be disappointed.

"The Ritz". The words conjure images of glamor and style; however, that's not quite the case here. Here in Brunswick "The Ritz" is a case of almost forgotten architectural wonder and glory, with small murals dotting the alley side. A 3 story brick structure, the access is restricted, and it sports a really neat, retro style sign - a leftover from the 50's, no doubt. In need of restoration this theater has a lot of nice bones, plus a glamorous history when Brunswick was more a shipping / maritime town, and before the fishing industry fished itself out of business, and priced itself out of competition with overseas suppliers (though Brunswick remains a seafood port, albeit in a local, minor way).

IF you go into Brunswick to walk around, this is a definite "must-see" on Brunswick's main business / historic "drag" for architectural buffs, and history buffs as well. With some luck and some funding perhaps the town or an individual will restore this building. I rather suspect the upper floors could be devoted to mixed use residential/light industry, while the main theater would hopefully be restored to its past glory since, as I understand it, the acoustics are quite good.

We caught a Christmas Carol production here and it was pretty good. There wasn't any singing or special effects, but the actors were good. Online ticket info was weak (for instance what constitutes a student?) and we were unable to actually talk to anyone beforehand. Tried calling multiple days in a row and tried visiting in person and never could talk to anyone. Finally just bought student tickets for our kids and no one said anything when we visited, they really just handed us tickets without a care and took tickets without a care. So if you have kids, this place is a great way to introduce them to the theater at $5 a ticket. We have seen lots of plays over the years, so it was a little underwhelming for the adults. Kids thought it was top notch though. Guess if you have seen big productions, just go in knowing it is small town theater. With that said the crew does good with what they have and we enjoyed the show. Seats were pretty standard theater seats. Other reviews said they were awful and we were worried about it, but they were standard seats that all the plays we have seen have. My biggest disappointment with the play we saw is the complete lack of music. No live music, no singing, a smattering of light background music from the pa was all. Usually there is more music involved in the plays we have seen, Shakespeare excluded, and this was a Christmas Carol. . .
