Ohio Theatre, Historic theatre in downtown Columbus, United States
The Ohio Theatre features Spanish-Baroque architectural elements, including a grand 21-foot chandelier and elaborately decorated ceilings throughout the performance space.
Architect Thomas W. Lamb designed this 1928 movie palace, which citizens saved from demolition in the 1960s by raising two million dollars for restoration.
The facility serves as the official theatre for the State of Ohio, presenting over 100 performances yearly, from Broadway shows to Columbus Symphony concerts.
The 2,779-seat venue provides accessibility features, including elevators, designated seating sections, audio description services, and nursing stations for patrons with children.
Anne Dornan, among the first women to graduate from Columbia School of Architecture, selected one million dollars worth of art and furnishings for the theatre.
