Renaissance Theatre

Doors open to the public on July 6, 2021. Temporarily closed to public due to COVID-19. You can still take pictures of the outside of the building.

A historic 1928 movie palace in the grand baroque style, the Renaissance Theatre is now the premiere venue for live entertainment in North Central Ohio. National Broadway Tours, rock, country, comedy shows and movies, as well as The Mansfield Symphony, play here throughout the year.
