About Rita House:
Rita House is a multi-use coworking, event and filming space for multi-hyphenate people to work and make their creative passions a reality. Originally built in 1926 as a Prop Design Studio for film and television, the Spanish Colonial building then became a violin factory producing thousands of violins and violas for schools throughout the country. In 1967, Rita Riggs, an award winning costume designer, purchased the building and made it her studio for her work with everyone from Alfred Hitchcock to Norman Lear. She passed the building to Tash Rahbar and Scott Strumwasser, who had been operating their architectural practice there for over thirty years. After restoring and transforming the nearly 100 year old building, they created the sanctuary for creative exploration and pursuit it is today in Rita's honor. They, along with Program Director Deena Falconetti and a small team, maintain this ever-evolving , unique space. With Comedy, Theatre, Game Night, Panel Discussions and Salons, all set in an elevated Parlor with warm, homey vibe, Rita House as proven to be a truly one-of-a-kind hidden gem.
