Amazing historic theatre with a lot of character and charm. Events and shows hosted here never disappoint either. The refurbished sign outside also looks fantastic.

The Ritz. The words conjure images of glamor and style; however, thats 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 50s, 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 Brunswicks 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.

This location is very outdated on the inside but looks awesome and historic on the outside . The location was somewhat hard to find via Google maps mixed in with all the other downtown stores. My biggest complaint with this location was for a recital I attended . If youre going to sell out of tickets super quick obviously this wasnt a good choice to hold the show as this is a smaller theater the owner of the dance school and the ritz theater should had come to a better decision about the number of guests for this location.

What a great experience, we saw a live production of A Christmas Carol. Although the theater is in the downtown section the parking was not a problem and it is easy to navigate to this location. The theater is very small but it adds charm to the experience. Even though the theater is old, and considered historic there are some upgrades and modernizations which make it a good place to go experience Performing Arts in Brunswick. I really enjoyed the play, and the local displayed art from an area school. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance so dinner and a show is most definitely an option here.

Was quite disappointed in the showing of a Christmas Carol. Honestly traveled 3 hours and was excited to see it. It was as though the actors had not seen the original and the lines were said too quickly and without much emotion. Perhaps it just wasnt their night

Great venue for local artists in a small town. This place keeps Arts alive in a small town where much goes unappreciated. Old, historic, beautiful building. It may be haunted though - thats just the vibe I got. :-P

For a small-town historic theater, its great. The community has done a nice job creating a very usable space. It has main level and balcony seating and can accommodate stage productions as well as movies.
