  • 1 Theater
  • 1 Historic Space

  The Canton Palace Theatre is a historic 1,488-seat performance venue in Downtown Canton, Ohio. Opened on November 22, 1926, and designed by Austrian-born architect John Eberson to evoke "a Spanish courtyard on a midsummer night," the theatre ranks among the region's most singular event settings. Its ornate columned proscenium arch, original cloud machine, and 21' × 46' silver screen — the largest in Canton — are defining interior features, alongside an original Kilgen Pipe Organ, one of only a few of its kind still operating in the country. After closing in 1976, the theatre was saved from demolition and reopened in 1980 following a major restoration effort, with approximately four million dollars invested in ongoing preservation. Today it anchors Downtown Canton's Arts District and hosts more than 300 events annually for an average of 50,000 guests. The main auditorium is available for weddings, corporate meetings, private film screenings, live performances, graduation ceremonies, and theatrical productions. A full fly system, orchestra pit, twelve dressing rooms, and professional audio, lighting, and projection equipment support productions of virtually any scale.
