The Allen Theatre is a theater on Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, part of Playhouse Square. Formerly the third largest of the four primary theaters in the PlayhouseSquare complex with a capacity of approximately 2,500 (hosting touring musicals and other larger productions), it was remodeled in 2011 to seat 500, becoming (along with the new Second Stage and Helen Rosenfeld Lewis Bialosky Lab Theatre) the home of the Cleveland State University Dramatic Arts Program and Cleveland Play House.
Famous quotes containing the words allen and/or theatre:
“I have misplaced the Van Allen belt
the sewers and the drainage,
the urban renewal and the suburban centers.
I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
