The Official Ruffin Theater

Through the years, restoration was done to the Ruffin, but being a non-profit organization, Tipton Arts Council did the best they could with what money was received. In 2009, a new section was added to the Ruffin. It has modern handicapped accessible restrooms, a handicapped entrance, and a storage area upstairs for props and costumes. In the last few years the Ruffin's lobby has been painted, a new carpet laid, a new sound system installed, and in the spring of 2016, new seating replaced the badly worn seating. The Historic Ruffin Theater has come a long way in the last 80 years.
