About the Reif Center

The Reif Performing Arts Center opens doors to a wide variety of art experiences. It features live music, theater and dance as well as an art gallery. It is a regional attraction drawing people from over 100 miles for regular performances.

Each year, the Reif hosts more than 50 national and international touring performances, representing a diverse range of artistic disciplines, including musicians, classical and contemporary dancers, musical theater, children’s theater, comedy – the list goes on! In addition, we also host performances by local music, theater and dance organizations and school groups.

After completing a grand renovation and expansion project in the Spring of 2016, the Reif Center is now home to two stages: the Wilcox Theater, seating 700, and the Ives Studio Theater, an intimate space seating 200.

The Reif is home to the Reif Dance program, which is open to students of all ages (4yrs-adult). Classes available in ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance. It also maintains an excellent visual art gallery, featuring mostly local and regional artists.

Mission

Underlying principles that guide this mission include the Reif Arts Council’s responsibility to provide a healthy organization and a well-managed facility in which a wide variety of visual and performing arts may be experienced, exhibited, and taught.
