Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater Florida
Published by julia | Filed under Miscellaneous, Pinellas County Homes, Real Estate, Shout Outs
Not too far from the Courtney Campbell Causeway in Clearwater is a place where world-class entertainment can be found nearly every day of the week. Ruth Eckerd Hall is one of Pinellas County’s most popular and well-known live entertainment venues. In fact, this 2,180 seat theater has been entertaining area residents for over 25 years, from the time it first opened on October 15, 1983.
The saga of this venerable theater began in 1977, when the Kapok Tree Corporation donated 38 acres of land to Clearwater, with a mandate that the city build a performing arts center on the property. At the time, there were very few options for live performances in the area, and Clearwater was known mainly for its pristine beaches, rather than its culture.
In 1979, the groundbreaking ceremony was held. Today, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. manages the land and the building itself, while the Ruth Eckerd Hall Foundation, Inc. does the fundraising for the theater and oversees its operations. Both organizations are non-profits created solely to see that the theater is the best it can be.
Over 350,000 people visit Ruth Eckerd Hall each year to see a variety of nationally and internationally known acts. The theater hosts Broadway shows, A-list comedians, legendary rock and roll acts, classical and modern dance companies, and a plethora of local talent. In 2008 alone, Ruth Eckerd Hall played host to such top-rated performers as Ringo Starr and his All-Star Band, Alanis Morrissette, and Cheap Trick. Such well-known shows as The Pajama Game, Avenue Q, and The Nutcracker also graced it’s professionally outfitted stage.
With loads of concessions at most events, a full calendar of spectacular shows scheduled throughout the year, and reasonable ticket prices that are far lower than you’d find for the same caliber of acts at other venues, Ruth Eckerd Hall has everything you need to have a memorable night out. If you’re looking for great entertainment in a top-notch venue in Pinellas County, you can find it at Ruth Eckerd Hall.
