Porthouse Theatre

"Awesome venue, clean bathrooms, great concession stand, and Amazing atmosphere. I'll definitely be back next summer when the season opens again. Go have fun everyone!"

"Porthouse is a wonderful venue for live theater, and a tremendous asset for Kent State and the Cuyahoga Valley area. The setting is intimate. The sound system is superb. Ticket prices are reasonable. Finally, the Theater students' enthusiasm is infectious."

"I've watched two musicals here this summer. I love this outdoor, covered theater venue! The seating wraps around the front and sides of the stage. We've sat on each of the sides and the view was still great. Picnic area on the theater grounds. Very affordable concessions with a handful of options (candy, chips, ice cream bars, sodas). Clean, indoor restroom facilities. Onsite box office. Show tickets reasonably priced. Productions very professional (cast, crew, set, etc.). Very welcoming, friendly theater community. We found out about this theater through our visits to Kent State which is high on our high school senior's list of colleges he's considering to pursue musical theatre."

"Great shows on a summer's evening. Saw closing night of the '23 season: "The Prom". Wonderful Broadway musical song/dance play of timely social issue: gay youth. Perfectly acted, sung, and danced!"

"We have attended shows here for many years and look forward to every season. The shows are very well done, and so many talented actors. Bring your food and wine for a pre show picnic and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Blossom. If you love Broadway shows in a close, intimate setting, you will love Porthouse."
