Florence, CO: Watch The RIALTO THEATER Kickstarter Film

The Rialto Theater was completed in 1923 in the small town of Florence, Colorado. For many decades, that historical jewel has sat vacant while attempts have been made to restore her.

She started her place in the community as an opera house, but went on to be the center of the community and host vaudeville shows, movies and more.

The Rialto is one of the few remaining opera houses in Colorado that still is substantially the same as it was nearly 100 years ago. And it is also one of the few theaters anywhere in the country that boasts a 50-foot fly tower.

Right now there is an urgent need to raise funds to complete the restoration and a Kickstarter campaign is underway. But there is less than three weeks left for the project to be funded through Kickstarter.
