The Rig Theatre in Wink, Texas is a restaurant and movie theater designed in the Chicago School style and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built during an era when oil-boom towns across Texas invested in entertainment venues, the theater reflects the architectural principles that emphasized clean lines, large windows, and functional design characteristic of the Chicago School movement. The building served dual purposes as both a dining establishment and cinema, meeting the social and cultural needs of Wink's mid-twentieth-century community.
