Movie theater in Geneseo, New York

The Riviera Theater has had a long history of movies and community involvement in Geneseo. It dates back to the 1900’s. As time passed by, small town theaters lost their luster and their importance to their communities around them. In the mid 1990’s the Rivera Theater shut its doors and kept them shut for the next 20 years. In 2013 Palace Properties was able to purchase the old theater with the hopes to bring the Riviera back to life and be a part of the town it once was. With a life time of experience, the owners of Palace Properties decided to restore the theater to a multi- use performing arts center, which as history has shown, was the past of the Riviera Theater.
