The Ritz in Wellington, TX, originally opened in 1929 as the county's first talking movie theater, showcasing silent films with synchronized sound. After falling into disrepair in the 1980s, the historic theater was restored by the local group Historic Wellington and reopened in 2007, now hosting first-run movies and live musical and theatrical events.

Supported by community donations, memberships, and sponsorships, The Ritz continues to thrive as a cultural hub offering a variety of entertainment options, including live performances, movie screenings, and special events. Membership contributions play a crucial role in sustaining the theater's operations and ensuring its continued success.
