Stepping into the Akron Civic Theatre is like stepping into another world. Located in the heart of downtown Akron, this historic gem has been captivating audiences for more than 90 years. Originally opened in 1929, the Akron Civic Theatre is one of only five remaining atmospheric theatres in the country. Designed by renowned architect John Eberson, the theatre’s interior was crafted to resemble a Moorish castle under a starry night sky, complete with clouds that drift gently across the ceiling. It’s a venue as known for its artistic ambiance as it is for the performances it hosts.
Over the decades, Akron Civic Theatre has served as the cultural heartbeat of the city, welcoming major Broadway tours, rock concerts, comedy legends, film festivals, and community performances. As a cornerstone of the city’s arts revival, the Civic has undergone multiple restorations, most notably a multimillion-dollar renovation in the early 2000s to preserve its historical charm while enhancing sound, lighting, and seating. Whether you're seeing a symphony or a stand-up show, the venue offers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that turns any event into a memorable occasion.
