THE WILLIAMS CENTER
DOWNTOWN RUTHERFORD NEW JERSEY
About the Williams center
The William Carlos Williams Center is a private, nonprofit performing arts and cinema complex located in downtown Rutherford, New Jersey. The center was named after the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and physician William Carlos Williams. The building that the center occupies was originally built in the 1920s as a Vaudeville theater known as the Rivoli. It was a major stop for such great acts as Abbot and Costello as well as The Glenn Miller Orchestra. Currently the nostalgic 1920s-inspired theater offers 3 movie screens, local events & an outdoor terrace. The main theater, the Newman, remains closed for repair. Fundraising by the community continues to help support the goal of reopening this part of Rutherford and New Jersey's rich history.
THE NEWMAN THEATER
Behind the doors of The Williams Center lies a remarkable piece of history waiting to be restored.

BCB BAnk Presents:
​CHRIS GETHARD: CARDBOARD WALLS TOUR 2020
Chris Gethard (of the Beautiful/Anonymous podcast, his HBO special Career Suicide, The Chris Gethard Show, Broad City, the Office, etc) accidentally purchased a home with cardboard walls. This is not a joke. It was a whole thing. He's just trying to give his baby son a good life in the burbs, and now he's got all these unexpected expenses since it turns out you gotta replace cardboard walls with actual walls. ANYWAY, Gethard loves nothing more than going to towns all over America and performing comedy, connecting with people eye to eye in that beautiful way only live performance can provide. But for this tour, not only do you get an hour of laughs from a performer you've come to know and trust, you also get the satisfaction of knowing you're helping his kid grow up in a house that's not made out of cardboard.
