At 300,000 square feet, the Philip Johnson-designed Cleveland Play House complex houses five performance spaces, making it the largest regional theater complex in the United States.^[1]
Founded in 1915, it is the oldest regional theater in America. An expansion designed by architect Philip Johnson was added in 1983. The complex consists of the 548-seat Bolton Theatre, the 505-seat Drury Theatre, the 138-seat Brooks Theatre (all three proscenium), the 312-seat Baxter stage (black box) that makes use of the Bolton's main stage, and a 120 seat black box theater named Studio One.
