The historic Rialto Theater in Denison is undergoing another transformation as it prepares for a new chapter in its long history. The project began two years ago across the Red River in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
Misty Chapman, who previously operated a bar featuring a small stage in Tishomingo, sought a location with a more prominent performance space. She found what she was looking for in Denison, despite initially being unimpressed by the local weather conditions.
Chapman’s move marks the latest reinvention for the century-old venue. The theater has seen multiple changes in ownership and use over its history, but this current iteration represents a fresh start for the operator who traveled from Oklahoma to establish her new business home.
Details regarding specific renovation timelines, financial investments, or official opening dates were not provided in the source material.
