Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The staff at Cleveland's beloved Playhouse Square is taking guests on a behind-the-scenes journey they've likely never experienced before.The pandemic put the entire experience on pause for four years.
"We are so excited to bring our free public tours back," Cindi Szymanski, Director of Communications at Playhouse Square, said. Szymanski gave News 5 a front-row seat to the more than century-old structures where stars have shined and the people of Cleveland successfully fought to keep the arts alive.The Connor Palace Theatre's architecture and design is something that takes the breath away of many.
The robust KeyBank State Theatre lobby holds a sense of power and purpose many may not have ever known. "This is where the show that saved the theatres happened right in this lobby. It was called Jacque Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris 1968," Szymanski said.
