The Theatre

There are few – if any – venues in the city with the intimacy and acoustics like the Rio. Concerts here are unforgettable and our lighting department is headed by one of the most highly requested technicians in the city. If you are renting the theatre for your movie premiere or film festival, our projectionists will ensure that your film is cared for every step of the way. Beyond live music and film screenings, we host a variety of events from seminars, fashion shows, comedy shows, award galas, graduations, film shoots and weddings to name a few.

Our concession & bar has a wide range of options from locally brewed Craft beer, wine, cider mixed drinks, candy, pop, popcorn, and grilled cheese sandwiches made with local ingredients from La Grotta Del Formaggio and A Bread Affair.
