Restoration of the fire-damaged Rialto Community Theatre in Deer Lodge got another big boost this week with a $100,000 commitment from Pioneer Federal Savings and Loan of Deer Lodge and Dillon. $50,000 is an outright grant, and the other $50,000 is a challenge grant, with Pioneer Federal matching each dollar donated for the project up to that amount. This would make the total impact over $150,000. The Rialto board has set June 1, 2008 as the target date for matching the challenge, but hopes to reach the goal earlier, as donations are received from area residents and others throughout the country.

Total cost of the restoration project is about $3.5 million, and over $1.2 million has been raised so far.

“Pioneer Federal has been a great friend to the Rialto since our non-profit bought it in 1995,” Rialto president Steve Owens said. “They donated over $32,000 toward the sound system, piano, marquee, and other improvements we made before the fire. We’re happy they are partnering with us to do this for the community. This is a great opportunity for people to double the value of their contribution.”

The Rialto board is working with architects and engineers to develop affordable reconstruction plans. Construction is anticipated to begin this spring.

The fire of Nov. 4, 2006, destroyed the auditorium, balcony, lobby and restrooms of the historic facility. Firemen were able to save the ornate terra cotta facade, stage area with historic backdrops, sidewalls and the projection booth.
