Welcome

TO THE AKRON CIVIC THEATRE!

On behalf of our board of directors, Women’s Guild, volunteers and staff, welcome to the Akron Civic Theatre ... and the John, James and Clara Knight Stage, Wild Oscar’s and Goodyear Theater. Thank you for being here!

In 2021, the Civic completed the Staging the Future capital campaign, which raised nearly $9.1 million against a goal of $8.5 million. Thank you to more than 1,000 donors who made it possible!

Because of generous community support, we’re bigger, better and busier than ever. It’s a thrill to share everything that’s new with you! You can read all about our venues in this edition of the season program.

The Civic is shining brighter than ever as “The Jewel on Main Street.” The Knight Stage has

already become one of Akron’s favorite venues, and Wild Oscar’s is a charming, off-the-beatenpath micro-venue for theater, music and spokenword events. In addition, we’re programming and operating the historic Goodyear Theater with even more great arts and entertainment.

The Grand Lobby and Arcade have been restored to their original splendor. Our new box office will greatly improve your patron experience. And our plan to make the outside of the Civic as engaging as the inside has come to fruition: The murals on our building’s exterior walls enhance the neighborhood; the PNC Plaza hosts public and private events; and the large outdoor video screen brings the excitement of it all to life in big, bold living color.

Thanks for coming, and enjoy the show!

Self-Guided Tours OF THE CIVIC

Through funding from the Akron Civic Theatre’s Staging the Future capital campaign, the Grand Lobby and Arcade have been restored to their original splendor. To experience the transformation fully and to appreciate our history and the story behind our lavish decor, have a look around and check out some of the highlights!

When the Akron Civic Theatre — then known as Loew’s Theatre — opened on Saturday, April 20, 1929, more than 10,000 patrons turned out for a momentous day in local entertainment history. This elaborately designed, state-of-the-art theater was unlike any venue the city had ever seen. Today, it is one of a handful of remaining atmospheric theaters of its kind in the country.

What motived Marcus Loew to make such a large investment in Akron? In 1910, Akron’s population was 69,067. By 1920, thanks to booming industries, it had swelled to 208,435. Akron was believed to be the fastest growing

city in America. Mr. Loew, owner of the largest theater chain in the nation at the time, visited Akron in 1925 to scout out a location for his new enterprise.

It All Started With the Arcade

For the site of his new theater, Mr. Loew chose the abandoned Hippodrome Arcade at 182 S. Main St. Its construction began in 1918 and halted a few months later due to a lack of funding. “The Hipp,” as it was to be called, was envisioned by developer L. Oscar Beck as a concourse with 30 stores, offices, restaurants and an elegant movie theater, all occupying the

land along S. Main St., from W. Bowery St. to Canal Park. Unfortunately, the project got no further than a high-ceilinged tunnel and became known as “The Gateway to Nowhere.”

In 1926, Mr. Loew purchased the property at a sheriff’s sale for $143,000. His next move was to hire acclaimed European architect John Eberson, known for designing atmospheric theaters with twinkling, star-lit ceilings. His Akron theater would include medieval carvings, authentic European antiques and Italian alabaster sculptures.

In June 1928, a crew from Franklin Brothers Co. of Akron arrived to raze the Hippodrome tunnel. Soon after, workers from the CraigCurtiss Co. of Cleveland began building a $2.3 million theater.

John Eberson bought this armoire, located on the Mezzanine level, on a European cruise. He collected pieces on his travels for use in his work.

The Knight Stage presents concerts and dance and theatrical performances in an intimate setting.

The Arcade & Box Office

At the entrance to the Arcade from S. Main St., the first point of interest is the box office kiosk, which is original to the theater. Imagine what it was like, back in the day, to sell movie tickets to thousands of people from this single purchase point.

In 2021, the Arcade was restored with its original colors, and all the artifacts were repaired, polished and painted. Check out the colorful art around the shadow boxes. As you walk through the Arcade, note the Star of David above every chandelier. You’ll see many more Judeo-Christian images inside the theater. Eberson was born in Europe, which may explain why the plaster reliefs along the walls represent wars of Europe. The artillery is authentic. At the entrance to the Grand Lobby, note the English Tudor roses carved above the mahogany doors.

After operating out of what was essentially a closet for several years, the box office staff was

thrilled to move into a brand new space. The three customer service windows are original to the building, but the room behind them — with large windows overlooking Lock 3 — was added during the 2021 capital project.

A small lobby located on the South side of the Arcade, near the S. Main St. entrance, is new to the Civic. Check out the permanent public art display, part of our larger public art initiative that includes the large murals on the North- and South-facing exterior walls of the building. Read more about our murals and other planned public art beginning on page 35.

Introducing the Knight Stage

Before you leave the Arcade, take a peek in the John, James and Clara Knight Stage, located in the historic Whitelaw building on the immediate North side of the Civic. Funded by a $4 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Knight Stage is a 200+ capacity

black box theater hosting concerts, musical theater productions, community events and much more. It’s also home to two of our community-based theater programs: Millennial Theatre Project and BOOM! Theater.

The Whitelaw building, constructed in 1885, was owned by Jacob P. Whitelaw. This immigrant from Austria-Hungary ran a wholesale liquor business out of the building. According to the Akron Beacon Journal’s Mark Price, “Whitelaw served Kentucky bourbon, Pennsylvania rye and Ohio brandy to passing canalboats, which carried his bottles from lock to lock.” He eventually opened a saloon in the building.

Take note of the whiskey mural by the window. That’s original to the building, and it was uncovered early in our restoration process. Also of artistic note in the Knight Stage are two Art Deco Skyscraper-style milk glass light fixtures that were recovered in the sub-basement of the Whitelaw building during a 2004 search by city officials. They were reinstalled in the building in 2021 during the restoration. In addition, the Knight Stage features a photography exhibit celebrating many of Akron’s performing arts icons.

The Grand Lobby

The Grand Lobby is where the Staging the Future restoration really shines. What was already a spectacular space is now blazing with color as never before. You may remember a feature we used to call the “line of demarcation” near the doors to the Promenade. That line signified where the major 2002 theater restoration ended, leaving the Grand Lobby and Arcade unfinished. Donations to the Staging the Future capital campaign took care of that problem. The restoration eliminated the line, making the Civic one seamless, spectacular work of architectural art.

When you enter the Grand Lobby, turn around and face the wall against the Arcade. Statues in the lobby are reproductions of two famous statues found in the Louvre in Paris. To the left of the doors is Aphrodite,

The view from the Mezzanine looking down the Grand Lobby’s gorgeous stairway highlights the expansive ceiling and John Eberson’s attention to detail.

Greek goddess of love and beauty. To the right is Artemis, goddess of the moon, wild animals and the hunt. These authentic Italian statues were donated to the theater in 1929. Look up at the mural of Coronado the Conquistador (fully restored in 2021), which was designed in the Michelangelo Studios for this theater.

Eberson liked to hide anything that was architecturally unattractive. The beautiful blue insets along the walls of the lobby disguise the heating and air conditioning vents. (Did you know that the Civic was the first public building in Akron to have air conditioning?) Also note the large deep blue-colored spaces above the ornate plaster mantels, which once featured gorgeous tapestries that, unfortunately, deteriorated over time.

The staircase is fashioned after the one in Eberson’s Paris Opera House. You’ll notice several religious images in the lobby, most notably the monks above the Coronado mural and the staircase and the angels above the arches. You’ll also see diamond patterns throughout the venue. Common to Morrocan design, the diamond represents the “abstracted eye” and offers protective powers from the “evil eye.” On the left side of the room, past the staircase, check out the coffin along the wall. It’s not clear why this piece is in the theater — maybe Eberson just wanted to add a touch of the macabre.

All of the Grand Lobby chandeliers were restored during the 2016-2017 season. These gorgeous lighting fixtures are original to the building. The legend of Loretta the Parrot presides over the Grand Lobby. Back in the day, it was considered good luck to include bird imagery in the design of a theater. For instance, you’ll see aviary designs carved into the mantels and in the Dutch ink drawings above them. It was also good luck to have live birds flying around the theater.

Loretta was the Civic’s colorful, talkative and naughty mascot, a pampered macaw treated to weekly vet appointments for grooming and wing-clipping. She reigned supreme on her perch in the Grand Lobby. But one day she bit a patron. The patron sued. Loretta mysteriously disappeared and eventually returned in taxidermy form. If you look up to the left of the staircase, you’ll see our Loretta (The real Loretta!), still presiding over the theater. Look down at your feet and you’ll also see images of Loretta in the carpet. This carpet is a one-of-akind design made for the Akron Civic Theatre and installed during the 2002 renovation.

The Promenade

The Promenade is the space between the

Grand Lobby and the Auditorium. You’ll see a lot of the imagery from the Grand Lobby echoed here, such as the diamond designs in the stained glass windows. As you walk down the corridor toward the W. Bowery St. entrance, you’ll pass Stage Left at the Civic, the gift shop operated by the Akron Civic Theatre Women’s Guild. The lobby by the Bowery entrance is not original to the building. It is part of an addition built during the 2002 restoration to install elevators and larger restrooms.

The Mezzanine

Walk up the staircase from the Grand Lobby, and you’ll find yourself in the Mezzanine. Check out the ceiling. These are the original colors from 1929 and are intended to create the effect of a grape arbor (part of the Morrocan garden theme). Each water fountain on this level features an astrological sign. The light fixtures next to the water fountains were originally Dixie Cup dispensers; you can see “Dixie” etched into the fixtures.

The blue lamp shades along the walls were handcrafted in Italy. The chandeliers above are magnificent, with their chains covered in velvet.

The North and South Salons are where the original restrooms were located before the 2002 restoration. The restrooms were “glamour baths,” complete with attendants. No matter how glamorous they were, they could only accommodate eight men and five women at a time. The theater sat 3,500 people. In the restoration, the old restrooms were converted to two salons and a full-service bar. The atmospheric ceiling (Look up!) was added to tie in with the Auditorium. While you’re hanging out in the Salons, check out the historic photos of the theater — you can see the marvelous tapestries once on display in the Grand Lobby.

The Auditorium

The Auditorium is where you’ll find the Civic in all its glory — and where the Moorish Revival style really shines. Eberson conceived an exotic Moorish garden and castle at night, with twisting columns, fanciful loges mounted on Romanesque arcades, cascading plaster

moldings and golden stucco. The horseshoe arches in the doorways are a common feature of Moorish architecture.

The interior of the theater is set one foot away from its outer wall, which is what once allowed city officials to toy with the idea of taking the theater apart and relocating it to another area of town. Sections of the walls are installed like puzzle pieces.

Since the theatre opened in 1929, the Mighty Wurlitzer organ has been one of its most treasured features. After decades of use, the instrument underwent a full restoration beginning in 2000. Thanks to the support of the ACT’s Organ Guild, more than 9,000 hours of labor over three years returned the organ to its original glory.

What is perhaps most memorable for patrons is our atmospheric ceiling. The ceiling depicts the January sky over Monaco on the Mediterranean Sea because the night sky at this time of year is at its brightest. There were originally 96 “stars” in the ceiling, and at every event, patrons were treated to the rising and setting of the sun before the night sky emerged and the show began. All the light bulbs for the stars were replaced with 180,000 fiber optics in the 1990s.

The Stage

The Civic Stage is framed by an ornately decorated proscenium. Look at the rich imagery in the structure and the mermaids in the corners at the top left and right sides.

One of the Civic’s most cherished antiques is our Mighty Wurlitzer organ. The Mighty Wurlitzer almost didn’t make it here. In 1929, Mr. Loew purchased the organ to accompany silent films. However, the movie industry changed, and it was decided that the organ would go to a theater in Boston instead. Luckily, Mr. Loew changed his mind and brought the Wurlitzer to Akron.

For More Information

There’s so much more to learn about and see at the Civic! Take one of our free tours (watch the website at www.AkronCivic.com for dates) or stop by Stage Left in the Promenade to purchase a commemorative book on the history of the theater.

The Auditorium reflects the exotic Moorish garden and castle Eberson wanted to create.

Akron is Rockin’ AT GOODYEAR THEATER!

The Akron Civic Theatre is now operating and programming Goodyear Theater, the beautiful and historic 1,462-seat venue located on the corner of E. Market St. and Goodyear Blvd. in The East End neighborhood.

Built in 1919, Goodyear Theater was upgraded in 2015-2016 with an investment of $3 million in renovations and acoustics and sound system improvements.

The theater is part of Akron’s historic Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company campus — 5.5 million square feet of buildings spread over 400 acres, constructed starting in the early 1900s. Designed by Walker and Weeks as one building, the hall was full of amenities and a bank to offer its employees facilities for mental, physical and social improvement.

Today, the space features the theater, a gymnasium and other recreational spaces, classrooms and offices.

The programming lineup at Goodyear Theater includes a wide variety of concerts and family and comedy shows, as well as communitybased arts, culture and celebratory events.

For a complete list of upcoming events, visit www.GoodyearTheater.com. Tickets for all events are available online, at the Goodyear Theater and Civic box offices, or by calling 330.253.2488.

The Awesome Power OF CREATIVE COLLABORATION

Greater Akron is blessed with a robust arts and culture scene — and the Akron Civic Theatre contributes to the spirit of collaborative creativity, diversity and inclusivity with four community-based theater projects.

The Akron Civic Theatre first embarked on community theater production in 2012, when it introduced the All-City Musical. The annual stage production engages high school students in the creation of a full-scale, professional-grade musical performed for a general audience. The All-City Musical calls for an all-student cast and orchestra and several student crew members, drawn from Summit County’s public and private schools, as well as home-schooled teens. Participants are immersed in a unique educational experience, involving them in all aspects of the production and offering them the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers and theater professionals outside the school setting — on a much larger scale than is typical for local schools.

Over time, over 1,000 Summit County students have participated since the project’s inception. The success of the Civic’s inaugural production of “Hairspray” led to more successful productions, including “Ragtime,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Shrek the Musical,” Mary Poppins,” “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Aida,” “Peter Pan,” and “Oklahoma.” In June 2025, All-City presented “Newsies,” its second highest attended production next to 2016’s “Beauty and the Beast.” It looks forward to presenting “Mean Girls: High School Version” on the Main Stage in June 2026.

In 2016, the Millennial Theatre Project evolved from the Civic’s experience in producing the All-City Musical. Staff became aware that teens who “age out” of local youth theater and traditional arts education programs are still interested in participating in the performing arts. Many struggle to find performance and production opportunities, especially in roles of artistic leadership. MTP began as an effort to bridge the gap between youth and adult community theater opportunities for participants ages 18 to 35 (Millennials and Gen Zers), and to create a theatrical space for younger adult voices. The project expands Summit County’s arts menu to serve an under-represented demographic in community theater.

In January 2026, MTP staged a powerful, compelling production of “American Idiot,” and in March, an intriguing version of “Murder on

the Orient Express.” Its season will round out in July with “Sister Act.”

In addition, the company has premiered several original works by local playwrights: “(In) Dependent: The Heroin Project” by Kent State graduate Emelia Sherin; “Simply to Die For”, a four-part radio murder-mystery by C.J. Corl; and local playwright and former anchorman Eric Mansfield’s dramatic play, “Whitesville”.

Under the banner of MTP, “Say It Loud” is a dramatic presentation about experiences of race and racism in Greater Akron, written from the stories that playwrights Francine Parr and Maya Nicholson collected in interviews over a one-year period in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in May 2020. “Say It Loud” consists of a series of monologues scripted directly from narratives gleaned from these sources, offering authentic representations of the feelings, frustrations, fears and suffering of community members from all walks of life.

The production has been staged nearly 25 times since 2020.

In 2021, BOOM! Theater followed in the footsteps of the All-City Musical and MTP in that it, too, works with a niche demographic. BOOM! presents musicals for a general audience with largely mature adult casts and creative teams (ages 50+).

“Senior theater” is, indeed, a thing. Over 800 known companies exist worldwide dedicated to this idea, but BOOM! is the only company of its kind in Northeast Ohio. Older adults comprise a high percentage of the audience for arts and culture fare, but they are not as often participants as the creators of arts and culture content, particularly on the theatrical performance side. BOOM! offers new opportunities for creative aging and provides a meaningful creative and social outlet for older adults. The project launched with “Cabaret” and continues to produce a beloved Christmas show annually to complement the spring production. Its production of “A Christmas Carol” earned the 2025 Best Musical award from BroadwayWorld Cleveland.

ART

The Akron Civic Theatre’s Staging the Future capital project has been truly transformational. Not only do the new and renovated physical spaces further enhance the Civic’s entertainment and cultural value, but the public art that is part of the capital project significantly impacts the S. Main St./W. Bowery St. Bowery block, which ties into the goal of Akron’s economic development strategy.

enlivens The Bowery Neighborhood

The murals on our sweeping exterior S. Main St. and W. Bowery St. walls have put a beautiful creative stamp on a revitalized neighborhood, while additional public artworks from 2023 created by local and regional artists create an even more engaging art experience and around the Civic.

MEET THE MURALISTS

Louise Jones (“Ouizi”) California-born and now Detroit-based artist

MEET THE MURALISTS

Louise Jones (née Chen), aka Ouizi (wee-zee), created the mural on the south side of the Civic, facing S. Main St. and overlooking Lock 3. Ouizi is best known for her large-scale floral mural installations, which can be seen in public spaces throughout the United States, from museums to public parks. Her murals often depict sitespecific plants and animals. Her affinity for botanical subjects continues to grow, stemming from an early introduction to Georgia O’Keeffe and fond memories of picking

figs with her grandmother. Her Akron mural features plant life native to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Learn more about her work at ouizi.art. Two muralists — El Mac and Aiseborn — worked together to create the mural on the north side of the Civic, on W. Bowery St. at Lock 4. The artists spent a week in Akron mid-July 2020, meeting residents, taking photographs and absorbing the Akron vibe. They began work on their mural in September 2020, completing it in October 2020. The two artists have blended their signature styles together to create a work that intermingles magically with available light, changing in feeling throughout the day and night.

El Mac (Miles MacGregor) Internationally renowned artist El Mac was born in and remains based in Los Angeles. He began painting public murals and graffiti in the mid-1990s and since that time has developed his unique visual aesthetic and rendering style, which utilizes repeating contour patterns. His work draws on influences from classical European art, social realism and symbolism. He has been commissioned to paint all over the world, for museums, universities and other cultural institutions. See more of his work at elmac.net.

Aiseborn (“Ace-born”) An illustrator, graffiti writer and fine art painter from Los Angeles, Aiseborn is known for murals that often include aerosol portraits adorned with his classic one-brush-stroke techniques. He creates geometric illusions that propagate at rhythms intrinsic to nature. He has installed several murals throughout Los Angeles — on city streets, in backyards, on rooftops and in a variety of unexpected places. See more of his work at instagram.com/aiseborn.

Bowery St.

Muralist and Akron resident

Scot Phillips, owner of 25th & Lincoln Mural Co., spent several weeks in July 2023 painting an addition to the Akron Civic Theatre’s outdoor mural collection. The murals were funded by the theater’s Staging the Future capital campaign.

Located on the wall along our new PNC Plaza on S. Main St., the installation is called “Canal Boat and Workers.” It is a reproduction of a photograph of the logging canal boat called “Veteran” and workers, taken sometime in the 1890s — just a stone’s throw away from the location of the mural.

“This is a perfect place and opportunity to highlight Akron’s industrial heritage,” said

Phillips. “The image connects stories of industry and the past for today’s viewers as they travel along the canal on the Towpath and experience the new scenery in the Lock.”

Phillips’ work primarily implements handpainted halftone through a process called “dithering.” Halftone is a reprographic technique that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect. This process is used in offset printing and screen printing, but Phillips recreates the dot pattern by hand, exchanging work normally completed by technology with that of human labor. Seen at a distance, the image becomes clearer, almost replicating a photograph. When photos are taken of it, the halftone tends to blend even more, giving an instant clarity to the image.

“Art creates a positive impact,” said Phillips, “and serves as a perfect opportunity to expand economic development in our community.”

Manuel Di Rita mural (titled “Urban Mirage”) located in Lock 4

“Urban Mirage,” a three-dimensional illusion mural, is the newest addition to the Akron Civic Theatre campus. Commissioned by Curated Storefront with support from the Civic, the 2,000-squarefoot artwork integrates architectural elements with sculptural shapes to bend the viewer’s perspective. Created by internationally renowned Italian street artist Manuel Di Rita, known as Peeta,

the mural was completed in October 2024 and is located in Lock 4. Peeta spent 20 days in Akron using a sprayer and a 135-foot lift to bring the piece to life. For the most dramatic view, he recommends standing at the top of Lock 4’s stairs on the Bowery sidewalk.

Curated Storefront founding director Rick Rogers, who previously collaborated with Peeta on the “Outside the Box” project in Akron’s Northside District, praised the artist’s signature style of anamorphic distortion. Peeta’s immersive murals and graffiti sculptures have been commissioned across Europe, North America and Asia since 1993.
