Apparently yesterday was National Nonprofit Day.

We missed it.

Probably because we were too busy… being a nonprofit. 😂🎭

The H.J. Ricks Theatre doesn't run on some giant staff working behind the scenes. It runs because people in our community believe that this beautiful old theatre is worth keeping alive — and they're willing to give a little of their time to make it happen.

Board members. Volunteers. Concession helpers. Event crews. People sharing our posts, coming to shows, bringing their families, telling their friends and cheering us on.

Want to be part of it? We would LOVE to have you. ❤️

🙋 VOLUNTEER: Help us keep the popcorn popping, the doors open and the shows going. Whether you can help once in a while or want to get more involved, there's a place for you at The Ricks.

📬 JOIN OUR NEWSLETTER: Want to know what's coming to the theatre before Facebook decides whether or not to show you our post? Sign up for our newsletter and get The Ricks delivered straight to your inbox.

Because The Ricks isn't just a building.

It's a community project — and there's room for you in it. 🎬🍿❤️

Drop us a message if you'd like to volunteer, and check the comments for our newsletter signup link! 👇

🎉🥁 STOP THE MUSIC! (Actually, Tony would probably prefer that we didn't.) IT'S TONY'S BIRTHDAY! 🥁🎉

If you've ever enjoyed a concert at Depot Street Park, caught a show at The Ricks, wandered through a downtown event, listened to live music somewhere around Greenfield, or simply thought, “Man, there's always something fun happening around here…” — there's a pretty good chance Tony Seiler had something to do with it. 😂

Tony is our Executive Director here at The Ricks, but that title doesn't begin to cover it.

Musician. Sound guy. Music-store owner. Concert wrangler. Marquee changer. Community supporter. Champion of live entertainment. Guy who knows approximately EVERY musician within a 100-mile radius. And somehow, despite having about 47 things happening at any given moment, one of the most genuinely fun people you'll ever meet.

Tony doesn't just work in Greenfield's arts and entertainment community — he helps make it what it is.

And we are ridiculously lucky that he brings all that energy, creativity, knowledge, humor, and heart to The Ricks.

So today, we're asking all of you to help us make a little noise for the guy who spends so much of his time making sure the rest of us have something worth making noise about.

🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TONY! 🎂

We hope your day includes great music, good people, absolutely NO technical difficulties, and — just this once — someone else changing the marquee. 😂❤️

Drop Tony some birthday love in the comments! 👇🎉

Those FREE movies don’t just magically appear on our screen (although that would be pretty awesome). Hancock County Tourism and Visitor Center helps make these movie nights possible through their generous sponsorship! ❤️

That means families can come downtown, grab some popcorn, settle into those comfy Ricks Theatre seats, and enjoy a movie together — with no admission charge.

And THAT is pretty darn special.

We are incredibly grateful to Hancock County Tourism and Visitor Center for investing in our community, supporting The Ricks, and helping us provide affordable — actually, make that FREE! — family entertainment right here in downtown Greenfield.

So the next time you join us for a FREE movie, help us send a little love their way. ❤️

THANK YOU, Hancock County Tourism and Visitor Center!
For the movies. 🎥
For the memories. ❤️
For supporting our historic theatre. 🎭
And for helping us keep these nights FREE for our community. 🍿

We appreciate you more than we can say!

Basically, we’ve got a whole lot of reasons to spend your nights at The Ricks. ❤️

And the best part? So many of these events are FREE thanks to the amazing sponsors and community partners who help us keep the lights glowing, the popcorn popping, and this beautiful historic theater doing what it was meant to do — bringing people together.

So save this photo. Share it with your friends. Start filling up that calendar. 📅

A magical moment under the marquee.👰‍♀

A training session bringing local boards and officials together.🏢

A room full of Helen Ropers that had even Stanley smiling.📿

At first glance, these photos don't seem to have much in common.

But they all tell the same story...

The Ricks Theatre is more than a place to catch a show. It's a place to gather.

Whether you're planning a meeting, training session, retreat, workshop, fundraiser, birthday party, anniversary celebration, reunion, or another special event, The Ricks offers a unique space full of character.

And even if your event is somewhere else, our iconic marquee can help make your celebration even more memorable.🌟

If you're looking for a venue that's anything but ordinary, we'd love to help make your next event unforgettable.
