Cleveland St. Soon to Receive Another Injection of Culture
Ruth Eckerd Hall to Close on Royalty/Capitol Theatre

The Royalty Theater, built in 1896, opened as the Capitol Theatre and enjoyed enormous popularity first as a vaudeville & opera house. For decades, many of the country’s biggest stars graced the stage of the theatre, including Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Clark Gable. In the 40’s, the theatre hosted Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Hope and Sammy Davis Jr. as they performed for U.S. military troops. By the 1950’s the beautiful theatre had become one of America’s premier movie palaces, but continued to be a favorite venue for many world-renowned performers. In the 60’s and 70’s, concerts by Elvis Presley, and Liza Minelli helped further the Royalty Theatre’s reputation as a great “little opera house”. That musical heritage continued as dozens of classic theatrical productions were presented over the next two decades.

For some months the City of Clearwater and Ruth Eckerd Hall have been negotiating over the purchase of the theater making plans to rehab the historic building and turn it into a small but modern hub for the performing arts.

“The theater would be a performing arts venue where we would do film, live performances, jazz, classical artists, pop entertainment — a similar type of schedule that we do for Ruth Eckerd Hall, but for artists that won’t necessarily fill the hall,” said Robert Freedman, president and chief executive officer of Ruth Eckerd.

The final closing of the property will take place early December. According to Kevin Carlon, Chief Operating Officer of Ruth Eckerd, they will get their crews in right away and should be open for business as soon as February – March.
