2023 Update: The Ohio Theatre is now owned by Children’s Theatre Workshop, a nonprofit, 501c3 organization. CTW offers an inclusive environment for youth of all backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles where they have the opportunity to study many aspects of theatre arts, develop valuable life skills, and produce quality plays.

CTW plans to renovate the theatre and is currently working with the historical society on their renovation plan.

The picture above is the Ohio Theatre at 3112 Lagrange. However it is an older picture and the buildings on either side of the Ohio Theatre have since been demolished. Also the theatre façade was struck by lightning and the prior owners were unable to finish the necessary repairs. Currently there is still scaffolding protecting the damaged part of the facade.

The Ohio Theatre is not currently an active movie house, though it can be rented for movie screenings. Children’s Theatre Workshop hold their plays and musicals at the theatre. And the Ohio Theatre is a welcoming and accessible venue for arts and cultural activities. More information including how to rent the theatre: http://historicohiotheatre.org/
