The Ritz theatre in Ritzville, WA is an art deco theatre in the Streamline Moderne style of the era designed by prolific Northwest architect Bjarne Moe.

While some of the theatres credited to Moe have gone the way of the wrecking ball, the Ritz survives and is looking forward to seeing its 100th birthday!

The Ritzville Downtown Development Association acquired the building in 2012 and have begun restoration work where possible, and rehabilitation work where needed.
