Thank you for visiting the Friends of the Ritz, Inc., webpage! The Friends of the Ritz needs your support and participation—we can’t do it without you! Our 85-year-old gem of a theatre here in Toccoa brings joy to so many. The theatre welcomes not only local residents but also attendees from across the Southeast and beyond. The Ritz Theatre is a wonderful way to introduce guests to our lovely community. The Friends of the Ritz has helped sponsor or co-sponsor a wide variety of artists and performers to enhance the growing number of music and entertainment offerings at our Historic Ritz Theatre. More importantly, our mission includes raising funds to support the theatre in numerous ways. We’ve purchased new stage signage and contributed to the purchase of a much-needed movie projector, to name a few examples. Please consider becoming a member, renewing your membership, or making a donation so we can continue our work. Thank you for your interest in Friends of the Ritz.
Sincerely, Daria Jakubowski, President, and Member of the Board of Directors Friends of the Ritz, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2018 to bring supplemental programming to the Historic Ritz Theatre stage. Funds raised by the organization support additional programming, capital improvement projects, and marketing for the Historic Ritz Theatre in Toccoa, Georgia.
