Event details: Ultimate Prize BingoA 1949 movie palace, back in lights
The Ro-Na opened in 1949 and showed films until 1973. After decades dark, the community brought it back: the neon marquee was relit in May 2014, and a state-supported renovation returned the auditorium, balcony, and stage to working life.

Spaces with showmanship
From the main auditorium to meeting rooms, the Tavern, and the marquee itself, the Ro-Na puts a restored Art Deco landmark to work for your event — community celebrations and corporate conferences alike.
Community & private events
Weddings, recitals, fundraisers, film nights, reunions, and celebrations — this building was brought back by the community, for exactly these.
The Conference Center
Conferences, trainings, and corporate meetings with a general session in a real theater — a venue your attendees will actually remember.
Friends of Ironton
Keep the marquee lit
The Ro-Na is owned and operated by Friends of Ironton, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The same thing that rebuilt this theater keeps it running: people who show up.
Donate
One-time or recurring gifts go straight to the upkeep and operation of a downtown landmark.

The Ro-Na was cleaned out, patched up, and brought back largely by volunteer hands — and volunteers still run event nights.
