The Rialto Square Theater opened in 1926 as a "Vaudeville Movie Palace". . Called the "Jewel of Joliet" it was a $2,000,000.00 project including a lobby with eighteen Corinthian styled columns and a twenty foot tall crystal chandelier. It was restored in 1980 and became a performing arts center. In 2006 a $5,000,000.00 "Polish the Jewel of Joliet" renovation fundraising campaign was successful. The theater is located at the intersection of Chicago and Van Buren Streets.
