In-Person Tours
June + July | Sundays | 10am
The five historic Playhouse Square theaters first opened in the early 1920s. After avoiding the wrecking ball in the 1970s, Playhouse Square began to come back to life in the 1980s. Now with 11 performance spaces, Playhouse Square is the largest performing arts center in the country outside of New York and a fully developed mixed-use neighborhood following the 2020 opening of The Lumen apartment tower.
Characters you may meet along the tour: Alan Freed and Garrett Morgan

There are inspiring stories around every turn. We hope participants enjoy hearing about Playhouse Square’s beginnings, rescue and rebirth.
