The Rylander Theatre

The Rylander Theatre A historic live performance theatre located in Downtown Americus, GA. The Rylander Theatre was built in 1921 by American businessman Walter Rylander.
(99)

It hosted the finest live entertainment and motion pictures before closing in 1951. Designed by C.K. Howell of New York, the Rylander was a visiual feast of ornate plaster work, beautiful stencil patterns, and painted murals. Closed for more than 40 years, and then restored and reopened in October 1999, the Rylander is nothing less than stunning and has once again reclaimed its titles as "The Fine

st Playhouse South of Atlanta." The Mission Statement of the Rylander:
The mission of the Rylander Theater is to provide the community and area visitors a theatre and meeting hall for dramatic and musical stage performances, motion pictures, and lectures, with its unique architecture, artistic legacy and social history to be interpreted through tours and other educational presentations.

Our beautiful and historic theatre has greatly benefited from our partnership with Fox Gives over the years through grant funding, operational and historic preservation support, and so much more. This REVIVAL concert is a great way to show your support and say thank you to The Fox Theatre.

It is that time of year again – the Fox Theatre is hosting their 2024 Revival Concert on April 28th! Kevn Kinney of Drivin N Cryin, will again serve as the evening’s host, and in addition to the Indigo Girls performance, the Fox will welcome Charlie Starr and Benji Shanks of Blackberry Smoke, Shawn Mullins, and Matthew Sweet to the historic Fox Theatre stage!

There will also be two special fundraising opportunities that evening, including a Live Auction in our Marquee Club beforehand and a five-minute “Fund A Mission” sponsored by Regions Bank from the stage during the concert to raise funds for Fox in a Box. You can purchase tickets here: https://www.foxtheatre.org/events/detail/revival-2024.

President and Mrs. Carter were instrumental in the successful restoration efforts of our historic theatre. Mrs. Carter was always the epitome of grace whenever she attended an event here, always making time to chat with staff and fellow patrons. Her legacy of caregiving and her generous spirit will forever have a lasting impact on this theatre, our community, and the world. Our thoughts are with President Carter and the entire family during this difficult time.
