Venue

A restored movie palace in the grand baroque style, this beautiful theatre is celebrating its 81st birthday in 2009! In the 1920's, Hollywood was booming. Movies were immensely popular, so the big motion picture companies were building magnificent theatres everywhere. With a population of about 30,000 in 1927, Mansfield, Ohio, located in the heart of north central Ohio, seemed an ideal spot for a majestic movie house. And so the Warner Management Company spent $500,000 to build the Ohio Theatre. Despite near blizzard-like conditions, the Mansfield News reported that thousands thronged to the theatre for the initial performance on January 19, 1928. First-nighters marveled at the beauty of the new theatre. There were marble floors and stairways, lead crystal chandeliers, and a Kimball theatre organ which was lowered into the orchestra pit after use.    Today, the theatre is home to the Miss Ohio Scholarship program, as well as the home theatre for the Mansfield Symphony Orchestra, one of the states leading orchestras.  This beautifully restored movie palace also hosts a series of National Broadway tours each year, as well as world known music acts such as Mannheim Steamroller, Johnny Cash, Oak Ridge Boys, and the Supremes.  The Renaissance Theatre is the premiere performing arts center in north central Ohio!
