Reitz Theatre
The Reitz Theater was the only building to survive the Downtown DuBois fire in the late 1880s.
Since then, Culture Resources Incorporated purchased the building and started the Reitz Theater back in the 1990s.
Recently they were awarded $300,000 from the Department of Economic Development for this theater.
“They gave us an additional $300,000 on our own we had raised about $140,000 so we’re using all those funds together to do some improvements on the building and also to build our addition,” said Joe Sensor, Past President for Culture Resources Inc..
Sensor said this money will give the theater more storage and shop space for the theatre.
