About the Akron Civic Theatre
The Akron Civic Theater was built in 1929 by Marcus Loew and designed by famed theater architect, John Eberson. The interior structure was fashioned after a Moorish castle featuring Mediterranean decor, including medieval carvings, authentic European antiques and Italian alabaster sculptures. In June 2001, the Akron Civic Theatre underwent the most comprehensive restoration and expansion project in its history, whereby the theater was brought up to modern performance and patron standards. During the 2010-2011 season, the theater attracted 107,400 people for events ranging from Disney?s Imagination Movers and China?s Golden Dragon Acrobats in Cirque D?or to country star George Jones, Motown legends The Temptations, Rockabilly artists John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett, and rock icon Alice Cooper.
