Allen Theatre – Cleveland, Ohio Tickets

Discover the Iconic Allen Theatre 

Steeped in elegance and history, the Allen Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the city’s most beloved cultural gems. Opened in 1921, the Allen was originally one of the great movie palaces of the era, known for its stunning Italian Renaissance architecture and opulent interior. Designed by architect C. Howard Crane, the venue once accommodated over 3,000 guests and featured gilded balconies, a sweeping proscenium arch, and elaborate ceiling frescoes. 

Over the decades, the Allen Theatre has evolved to serve the shifting artistic and cultural needs of the city. After closing in 1968, the theater was saved from demolition and underwent multiple renovations, with the most significant transformation taking place in 2011, when it was reimagined as an intimate, multi-purpose performance space in partnership with Playhouse Square, Cleveland Play House, and Cleveland State University. 

Today, the Allen Theatre seats approximately 500 patrons and is part of the second-largest performing arts center in the United States—Playhouse Square. The venue presents a wide array of performances including dramas, musicals, dance productions, and special events. Whether you’re attending a Broadway-caliber production or an acclaimed local performance, the Allen Theatre offers an unforgettable, up-close cultural experience.
