Iconic 1970s Design & CLE Phenomenon
The Front Row Theatre was a bold and groundbreaking entertainment venue which opened its doors on July 5, 1974 in the Highland Heights suburb. Designed by Richard R. Jencen Associates (Jencen Architecture LLC), the theatre measured approximately 300 by 270 feet and, at its height, could accommodate around 3,200 guests. Its signature feature – a revolving stage wrapped in a dramatic circular curtain – ensured every seat in the house offered an unobstructed view.
Free of visual barriers or awkward sightlines, the venue brought a touch of Las Vegas glamour to suburban Ohio, transforming the concert . . .
