Couple honored for 20 years managing Cedarburg theater

Jerry and Alice Voigt, a husband and wife duo, have been recognized for their dedication to the Rivoli Theater in Cedarburg. They received the key to the city for their twenty years of running the theater. The couple manages a large group of volunteers who help with various tasks. These include taking tickets, cleaning, and running the snack bar. They enjoy connecting with the community through this unique role. "We see friends every day," Jerry said. The Voigts have lived in Cedarburg for nearly sixty years. Before operating the theater, Jerry served as the Chairman for the Town of Cedarburg. Interestingly, neither of them were big movie fans before they took over the theater. Now, they schedule the films and often watch the first showings. This weekend, the Rivoli Theater will screen "Paddington in Peru." Showtimes are 7 p.m. daily, with a matinee at 3:30 p.m. on weekends. Admission is just $4. The Voigts express that everyone in the community feels involved in the theater, making it a special part of Cedarburg.
