Deb McDuffie has been an integral part of the Ritz Theatre & Museum ever since it’s reopening in 1999, first as production manager, director of Ritz Voices, and producer of Ritz Amateur Night. More recently she functions as Artistic Director for the venue, where she still directs Ritz Voices and produced Puttin’ on the Ritz, and also produces the Ritz Heritage Concert Series featuring community talent.
She has played a role in the music scene for decades. One of her closest friends was Luther Vandross. His documentary “Never Too Much” features Deb and will have a sneak preview screening Friday, Oct. 25th at the Ritz Theatre & Museum at 6:30pm. www.ritzjacksonville.com
