The Mimi Ohio Theatre, located within Cleveland’s prestigious Playhouse Square, is one of the city’s crown jewels for live performance and theatrical elegance. Originally opened in 1921 as part of a grand five-theater entertainment complex, the venue was initially known as the Ohio Theatre. Like many theaters of its time, it showcased silent films, vaudeville acts, and lavish live productions. Over time, it transitioned into a space for movies before eventually closing in 1969 and falling into disrepair.
But thanks to a passionate community restoration effort in the 1980s—led by the Playhouse Square Foundation—the Ohio Theatre was reborn. Following a stunning multimillion-dollar renovation in 2016, funded in part by philanthropist Mimi Haas, the venue was renamed the Mimi Ohio Theatre in her honor.
Today, the theater holds around 1,000 guests, combining intimacy with grand architectural flair. Its stunning Italian Renaissance interior, complete with hand-painted ceilings, gilded detailing, and ornate chandeliers, makes every visit a step back in time. The venue is home to plays, musical performances, lectures, and concerts, offering a world-class stage experience in the heart of downtown Cleveland.
Whether you're attending a Broadway tour, a symphonic performance, or a nationally touring spoken-word artist, the Mimi Ohio Theatre delivers breathtaking ambiance and unforgettable acoustics.
