The H. J. Ricks Centre for the Arts, located at 122 W. Main Street in Greenfield, is an ART Deco styled theater that dates to the 1940s. The grand marquee is hard to miss, as it lights up the night sky downtown. The old movie theater went through a major renovation in 2001, and it now boasts a full stage, modern audio and visual system, and and a complete theatrical lighting system. Originally built as the Weil movie theater, the renamed H. J. Ricks Centre for the Arts, has been truly transformed into a community performance palace. During any given day, the Ricks hosts a variety of musical performances, comedians, theatrical performances, speakers, and other acts.
Coming in early 2025, The National Road Music Series, The Flying Toasters, Heywood Banks, Terry Mc Bride Live and Pro Wrestling are scheduled to appear. You can get the updated schedule by going to www.rickscentre.com.
This facility is also rentable for anyone looking to host an event, a concert, or a performance- public or private. The Ricks Centre can also be used for recitals, competitions, fundraisers, weddings, family events and corporate parties. Check out this great facility and enjoy the talent both local and national on the Ricks Centre’s stage.
