About Us:

In 1985, the Tennessee Valley Art Association restored the historic Ritz Theater in Sheffield as a home for its performing arts programs. The Ritz, a former silent movie house, was built in 1927. It was remodeled in the popular Art Deco style in the early 1930s to "accommodate the talkies". The Art Deco style was retained when it was remodeled in 1985. The theater is now used by the community for plays, concerts, seminars, receptions, lectures, pageants, and more.
