The Canton Palace Theatre celebrates 95 years of bringing world class entertainment to Stark County this November! The theatre serves as both the literal and figurative cornerstone of the Downtown Canton Arts District.
The Theatre was designed by the noted Austrian-born architect, John Eberson of Chicago, who achieved fame during the 1920s through his creation of “atmospheric” theatres located in cities across the United States, including Akron’s Civic Theatre.
The Palace seeks to re-create a Spanish courtyard on a midsummer night. Its ceiling, a starry night with wisps of clouds, creates a dream effect. The Palace still has the original cloud machine that makes the clouds march continuously across the sky.
Located directly off of Market Ave in Downtown Canton, the Palace Theater is a vital multi-purpose entertainment facility, who’s marquee burns brightly sixty feet above the street, welcoming you to enter its grand foyer and become a part of Canton’s nostalgic past. Hosting over 300 events a year, with an attendance of over 100,000 guests, the Palace also strives to be an important part of Canton’s future.
You can be part of the theatre’s future by visiting for a movie or live event, hosting a life event at the theatre, joining as a member of the Canton Palace Theatre Association, or becoming a volunteer.
