Porthouse Theatre — Attraction in Cuyahoga Falls

Wow! What a charming outdoor theater. A group of us went in June 2025 to see the production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. I was first blown away when a golf cart pulled up to our group in the parking lot & the driver asked if we wanted a ride up to the Pavillion. (They offered again after the show.) Once up by the main area , I was impressed with the well manicured grounds. There are plenty of picnic tables to use for people who brought picnic baskets with meals to eat. (There is a concession stand, but i can't comment on it b/c I did not visit it.) The restroom had plenty of stalls & was very clean. The theater is an outdoors theater that has 6 seating areas with 9 rows each that formed a half circle. The stage was so close even though we were in the last row. The sound was clear.

The pavilion area has picnic tables that can be reserved. The highlights of our visit include eating a picnic dinner with a bottle of BYOB wine and buying a souvenir...
