About the venue:

The Ridglea Theater, capacity 1,600, was built in 1948 and opened in 1953. The Ridglea Theater was taken over and tastefully renovated by Cinemark in the 1980's and is now one of the most popular theaters in the Fort Worth area.



This neighborhood theater was the last building constructed by developer Arlie Clayton Luther in the 6000 and 6100 blocks of Camp Bowie Boulevard in a development called Ridglea Village.
