Paul G. Reitz Theater
Built in 1887, this historical building was once a long-standing church. Surviving the devastating city fire of 1888, the former church is a thriving theater today. Entertaining musicals, dances and moving dramas can be enjoyed in this grand, tudor-style playhouse. An art gallery, located in the main lobby, hosts a variety of local artwork for visitors to enjoy before or after performances.
