Playhouse Square Public Tours

Venue: KeyBank State Theatre Lobby | With five fully restored historic theaters (opened 1921-22), Playhouse Square is the largest theater restoration project in the world. Join us for a free tour and find out how these gems were saved from the wrecking ball! Public tours are an hour and a half. Tours do involve stairs and we suggest wearing comfortable shoes. If you or a member of your party is not able to access stairs, please inform the volunteer guides upon arrival and they will adjust the tour accordingly. Due to performances happening throughout Playhouse Square, all areas may not be available on each tour. When to Register Tickets are added periodically. If you do not see any availability for the date of your choice, please check back one month or two weeks before your desired tour date. Tours are free, but registration is required and space is limited per time slot. Please note that some Saturdays may be excluded due to heavy theatre or district activity, and alternate dates (such as Mondays) may be offered instead.
