Today we are celebrating a remarkable milestone for a man who has become a cornerstone of our theater. For over two decades, Bob Arndt has given an incredible amount of care and commitment to the Ritz, the Wayne Densch, and the Helen Stairs.

Buildings have history, but people give them life. Bob’s loyalty and steady presence have helped shape the legacy of this organization through countless seasons and performances. He is truly a part of the heart of this theater.

Bob, thank you for being such an essential part of the Ritz family and for everything you continue to do. We are deeply grateful for you. Happy anniversary.
