About me: Built in 1948, opened in 1950, The Ridglea Theater
was a state of the art movie theater and a beautiful,
art-“decoish” landmark on the West side of Fort
Worth.
With the advent of the multiplex, people stopped
supporting these wonderful old theaters. The
Ridglea was turned into a movie/dinner theater in
the early 90’s and closed after a couple of
unsuccessful years. It sat vacant for almost three
years.
In 1998, Richard Van Zandt and Wesley Hathaway
leased the wonderful old building, following a dream
they had of presenting Richard’s innovative and
unique LASER light shows. While the shows were
fabulous, they didn’t pay the rent and the couple
turned the venue into a live concert hall with their
first musical performance in 1999.
Since then, The Ridglea has become the premier
concert venue of it’s size in the metroplex if not in
the state. While still great supporters of local music
and bands, the Ridglea has become a destination
for National and International bands as well, hosting
such notables as Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse,
Deathcab For Cutie, Type O Negative, Cradle of
Filth, Therion, The Cult, Hank Williams III, Ministry,
Breaking Benjamin, HIM, Willie Nelson and many,
many more.
Contrary to an article printed in the Fort Worth Star
Telegram on April 27th,
The Ridglea Theater is NOT CLOSING
nor is it being auctioned off!
The property owners have informed us that this issue has
been resolved and The Ridglea will not be auctioned off on
Tuesday. Our doors are open! And we plan to be open
many more years! We would appreciate any and all of you
to call Sandra Baker at the Star Telegram and request that
she print a retraction (817)390-7727.
