Hanna Theatre

Hanna Theatre sits on East 14th Street between Prospect and Euclid Avenues in Cleveland’s Playhouse Square district. The venue’s main entrance is on East 14th Street, and Playhouse Square lists the theater lobby as the location for ticket services and will call.

For drivers, Playhouse Square operates two garages for performance parking: the Playhouse Square Parking Garage at 1450 Chester Avenue and The Lumen Parking Garage at 1965 East 17th Street. The organization also lists several additional parking lots and garages in the district, including the Hanna Garage at 1509 Prospect Avenue and the US Bank Garage at 2060 East 14th Street. Both Playhouse Square garages use cashless payment only, and parking passes for the Playhouse Square Garage are sold in advance for evening and weekend parking only.

Playhouse Square lists Hanna Theatre’s seating capacity at 550. Beyond standard theater seating, the room also offers banquettes, bar seating, and club chairs. That range of reserved seating is specific to this theater and is part of what distinguishes it from other spaces in the district.

Ticket services and will call are in the lobby, concessions are on the main level, and restrooms are on both the main and balcony levels. The theater does not have an elevator, so upper-level seating requires stair access.

Playhouse Square says Hanna Theatre does not have elevator access to the upstairs mezzanine or balcony. The venue does have designated accessible seating, accessible restrooms on the main floor, and wheelchair escorts available through RedCoat volunteers. Accessible seating requests can be made online, by phone, or in person, but availability is limited and not guaranteed.

Other supported services at Playhouse Square include assisted listening devices, audio description by request, large-print programs for certain productions, sign-language interpreter requests made in advance, and service animals welcome in the theaters. Guests needing extra help can contact Playhouse Square directly for assistance before the performance.

Playhouse Square may inspect bags and cases at entry. Prohibited items include backpacks and other large bags, cameras, audio and video recorders, outside food and beverage, laser pointers, whistles, firearms, and other weapons. Diaper bags are permitted but may be inspected. Smoking and vaping are not allowed indoors.

Late seating is controlled by the show’s producer or artist, so guests who arrive after curtain may need to wait for a natural break before entering. Playhouse Square also asks guests to turn off mobile devices, limit distractions during the performance, and avoid recording or photographing inside the theater once a show is underway unless permission is granted.

Concessions are available on the main level at Hanna Theatre. Playhouse Square says its concession offerings can vary by performance, but typically include items such as candy, cookies, soft pretzels, nuts, bottled water, coffee, and bar service with beer, wine, and spirits. Some events may restrict food and drink inside the theater, and posted signs govern those exceptions.

Because offerings vary by show, it is safest to treat concessions as a performance-specific convenience rather than a fixed menu.

The venue’s current event lineup is determined by the website’s live listings.
