PERFORMING ARTS
KLAMATH FALLS
n June of 2018, the Ross Ragland Theater unveiled a completely
Inew type of programming. The Ragland Digital Xperience, known
as RDX, is world-class entertainment and performing arts in high-
definition and Dolby Surround Sound.
“This is a game changer because we can expand our programs to
offer world-class theater, rock ‘n roll, family shows, opera and bal-
let, and sporting events—all at affordable ticket prices and with
great student and senior discounts,” says Mark McCrary, Ragland
Executive Director.
The theater is working with Discover Klamath and civic groups to
use RDX shows to enhance tourism and community engagement.
They hope to partner with schools, colleges, businesses and oth-
ers who may wish to use the digital cinema equipment. “A number
of generous partners came together to make this possible, includ-
Securities offered through 1st Global Capital Corp. Member FINRA/SIPC. Investment advisory services
offered through 1st Global Advisors, Inc. Insurance services offered through 1st Global Insurance Services, ing Rod Bell Memorial Fund, the Wendt Family Foundation, the
Inc.
Ford Family Foundation, and Klamath County Tourism,” explains
McCrary. “It is a statement to the power of the Klamath Falls com-
munity to get things done.”
The Ross Ragland Theater, a renovated 1940’s movie theater, is a
year-round, multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary arts center serving
South Central Oregon and Northern California. The Ragland will
continue to show live events and will add two to three RDX events
per month.
