The Milane Amusement Company developed the building, which originally was known as the Milane Theater. Incorporated in 1922, the Company derived its name by combining parts of the names of its president, Frank L. Miller, and Vice-president, Edward F. Lane. The Theatre is built on the site of the former Star Theatre. The Board of Directors of the Ritz Community Theater Projects, Inc. renamed the Theatre the Helen Stairs Theatre for the Performing Arts in honor of Helen Stairs who lead the restoration effort. The newly restored Theatre was dedicated to the Community during the grand re-opening gala, May 6, 2000. On September 8th at the 2007- 2008 Season's first event, 'Encore' -- a Fundraising Drive, was established to renovate the new building and Theatre in becoming the "Wayne Densch Performing Arts Centre'. The building incorporates Helen Stairs Theatre and the Ritz Theatre. This beautifully restored historic Vaudeville theatre hosts a wide range of performances: plays, musicals, ballets, operas, recitals, pageants, and lectures.
