While the Ritz Theatre is being used for the live performances the Lyric still remains all boarded up. The movie “Queen for a Day” played both the larger Ritz and the Lyric at the same time.

One of the other theatres in Waycross was the Ritz which is now called the WACT, Waycross Area Community Theatre.

This theater should have been the one to “save”.It is more intact than the gutted one.Waycross is a diamond in the rough.If it were a little closer to Jacksonville,it could come back from the grave it is in.I believe there was a 3rd theater downtown in the 50’s.Could the church use facility be it?I often went to Waycross in the late 50’s with my father on church affairs.The WWII airfield was still totally intact then and as a very young military groupie,I loved it.
