The main agenda for The Ritz Theatre Revival Blog is to reach out to this community in an attempt to expand our dream of bringing life back to The Ritz. However, our crusade needs your support and generosity to jump start this theater's heart again.
It has been reported that Elvis Presley made two appearances at The Ritz Theatre in the early 1950s. His first performance was sometime in 1954 during an event that was originally set to play only at the Centre Theatre.But since it quickly sold out, he scheduled another set at The Ritz an hour after he finished at The Centre. The management at both Centre and Ritz had to share concession and box office girls to pull off Elvis' double header performance in Corpus Christi.
He came to The Ritz a second time to promote his film "Love Me Tender" directed by Robert D. Webb on December 6, 1956. The movie was the featured film that week.
