A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and restored historic theater in Ruston, LA. The Dixie is a historic theater in Downtown Ruston, Louisiana.
First opened in 1928 as the "New Astor Theater", then becoming the "Rialto" in 1933, before being bought by the Dixie Theater Corporation of New Orleans in 1937. In 1996, the Dixie Center for the Arts held their first meeting and began casting a vision for the restoration of this historical and cultural treasure. For a full decade, devoted members ran creative and successful fundraising campaigns and events that brought in the necessary funds to restore the Dixie Theater. A grand celebration and re-opening was held in 2006, and full seasons of events, parties, and concerts have reinstated the Dixie as the Home and Heart of the Arts in North Central Louisiana. Today we host numerous concerts, plays, and other events keeping with the traditions of creativity, entertainment, and community that makes Ruston one of the best cultural destinations in the State of Louisiana. Come see this Louisiana treasure for yourself!
