Find a reason, any reason, to visit this theater. We were lucky enough to catch Wilco playing this gorgeous place and will never forget it. The ushers and other staff are
The Civic Theater in Akron is an unbelievably enchanting place to visit. There is so much history in this building. Free tours are offered several times a year. Even if you have visited many times in the past, you haven't seen this theater until you take the tour. There is actually a theme that is replicated in the design and decoration of the theater. Watch the clouds pass overhead! Count the stars in the sky! Listen to the oldtime organ. In December you can see the preview of the 5th season of Downton Abbey ahead of the TV date - on the big screen. I haven't seen this advertised, but free tickets are currently available at the Box Office which is now located across the street in the Ohio Building. We have seen theater, movies, ballet, concerts and movies at this lovely historic part of Akron's charm.
if u like old theaters with their ornate style, you should enjoy this one. the seats are nice & comfortable. also drinks were availableduring this show.
this place will take you back in time. it is a really cool theater lots of good concerts there from blues to rock and even country
what a beautiful, historic place to attend a concert! saw "who's bad" the michael jackson tribute and cannot imagine having more fun at any other venue.
This Theatre has gone through a renovation that rivals that of the Cleveland Place House Sq. Theaters! It is smaller so you get to sit closer to all the concerts and plays. They do a good job here and parking is close!
We have taken out daughter to see this every year for the last 13 years and it is better every year. The theater is unbelievable with its moorish setting and moving ceiling.
The Civic Theater is a great venue. We see shows here several times a year. There is plenty of parking and the theater is beautiful. The have a variety of shows for everyone.Also there are plenty of places to eat before a show within walking distance.
This old time theatre is a gem. There's nothing like seeing a show with the great ambiance of a truly unique theatre. Get there early so you can see and hear the organ that rises out of the floor. If you have an opportunity, take the backstage tour that is offered once in awhile. If you're there for a movie, sit in the balcony, front row. Popcorn & front row of the balcony, doesn't get any better than that!
