In the early 1920s, five opulent theaters -- the Allen, the Ohio,
the State, the Palace, and the Hanna -- opened on a stretch of
Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. They offered legitimate theater,
vaudeville, name bands and entertainers, and films for the affluent
and hardworking citizens of this booming industrial city.
Unfortunately, the introduction of television and the flight to the
suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s turned the theaters into ghost
palaces destined for the wrecking ball. In 1970, a bold group of
planners led by Raymond K. Shepardson formed the Playhouse Square
Association, a nonprofit group dedicated to saving the theaters. A
25-year restoration endeavor emerged that raised $53 million,
culminating in the largest theater restoration project in the
world. Today Playhouse Square Center ranks second only to New
York's Lincoln Center as North America's largest performing arts
complex.
