“Designed to bring the grandeur and beauty of our 100-year-old, fully-restored theaters outdoors, this next phase features dazzling new theater marquees, and technology upgrades for elements installed during the original phase of the transformation,” according to Playhouse Square. “These sensational marquees will stand as an enduring public tribute to everyone who has brought us through our first 100 years and to the bright possibilities ahead.”

Construction on the new marquees began earlier this year on March 16. Plans for the marquee upgrades were first announced nearly one year ago on Oct. 3, 2022.
