Rialto Square Theatre

Located in the Chicago suburb of Joliet, Illinois. It was a movie theater at one time, but it now houses mainly plays and stand up comedy as well as some concerts for musical artists. It is one of the Top 10 theatres in the country.
It is considered one of "150 great places in Illinois" by the American Institute of Architects.  Inside Rialto Square Theatre, which opened in 1926 and underwent a restoration in the 1980s, shining scagliola columns rise into a celestial dome full of intricate sculptures. A Duchess chandelier dominates the rotunda. Cream-colored marble walls line the lobby and cherubim flutter into the auditorium.
