Playhouse Square Center

Playhouse Square Center

PlayhouseSquare, in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is the second-largest theater complex in the United States (second only to New York City's Lincoln Center). Constructed in a span of 19 months in the early 1920s, the theaters were subsequently closed down, but were revived through a grassroots effort. Their renovation and reopening helped usher in a new era of downtown revitalization in Cleveland, and was called "one of the top ten successes in Cleveland history."

Famous quotes containing the words square and/or center:

    “Rationalists, wearing square hats,
    Think, in square rooms,
    Looking at the floor,
    Looking at the ceiling.
    They confine themselves
    To right-angled triangles.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Placing the extraordinary at the center of the ordinary, as realism does, is a great comfort to us stay-at-homes.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
