Light it up: Playhouse Square's new theater marquees in photos

Last Thursday, September 28, Playhouse Square unveiled its new theater marquees along Euclid Avenue during Marquee Moments.

Designed to bring the grandeur and beauty of the 100-year-old, fully restored theaters outdoors, the evening showcased the latest upgrades to the new theater marquees and technology upgrades for features installed during the original phase of the transformation.

The free event included performances before the lighting of the new marquees and a spectacular digital installation across all the screens in the district.

FreshWater managing photographer Bob Perkoski documented this bright Playhouse Square moment for our readers to enjoy.
