The theatre changed hands many more times since then.In the early 1970's, The Niagara Frontier Theater Organ Society (NFTOS) made an offer to purchase the Wurlitzer organ for a substantial amount, along with the provision the instrument must remain in the theatre.

Listed as a Model 235 Special, the organ differed from a standard 3 manual 11 rank Model 235, by substituting an Oboe Horn rank of pipes from the standard Salicional pipes usually found on this model.

The expansion will also include meeting space, rehearsal and performance space to incubate arts groups from around the area.The Riviera is most notable for its Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ, which was produced in North Tonawanda, once the home of the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company.

Several popular organists played their ‘first’ public concert at the Riviera Theatre.

Many top name artists, in this country, have performed here in hundreds of concerts over the past 35 years.

In 2006, RTOPS hired Frank Cannata as executive director, who has increased shows and attendance in the venue for the community, as well as increased grant monies received for building improvements.Plans are now underway for a capital campaign and expansion of the theatre to include new production and stage space, as well as expanded lobby and concession facilities.
