A cornerstone since 1921

Casper history, still taking the stage.

Built as the New Lyric in 1921 and transformed into the Rialto in 1922, the theater became Casper's premier movie house. A comprehensive 2024 renovation carried that legacy forward with a modern live stage, sound, lighting, and a full-service bar.
