Corpus Christi PATCH
Positive Action Towards Cultural Heritage
Dedicated to restoring the Ritz Theatre in Corpus Christi, Texas.

URGENT!!!!! The Ritz needs you!!! The Ritz is facing it's first huge milestone with the City. Our City Council will be voting whether or not to support The Ritz and give PATCH $500,000 to jump start the restoration via the Bond 2008 package. We were approved on draft 1 and are now threatened to be taken off, BEFORE the voters even have a chance to decide! This decision will set the stage for how things will go for The Ritz in the next year. > Click here to view how you can help between now and the August 12th vote. > Click here to view the FAQ about PATCH and Bond 2008. > Click here to read how historic theatres have been proven sources of economic development and have turned Downtowns around. > Click here to view information on the City Council meeting and get City Council members emails to send letters of support.

The Ritz Revival
Built in 1929, the Ritz Theatre in Corpus Christi was one of the largest in Texas at the time of its construction. Opening day was three months after the stock market crash and the start of the great depression. The Ritz soldiered on, providing an escape for Texans into a world of imagination for years. Today, the Ritz stands crumbling, forgotten, one of the last great movie palaces yet to be restored, and one of the few standing historic buildings in Corpus Christi. By reviving the Ritz Theatre, we gain a new, dynamic venue to stimulate the economy, inspire and support the creative class and provide an anchor business downtown. The Ritz will be an icon for hope and change and rebirth. It’s something everyone can be a part of and say, “I helped make that happen”.

PATCH, established for the good of the Ritz, will restore the Ritz Theatre retaining the original style of Spanish Renaissance, and develop the theatre into a state-of-the-art entertainment venue worthy of the times and the name, The Ritz.
