History

Seating capacity of 784.

Both Ohio Amusement and Associated Theaters in all likelihood, probably leased the building. Was it from the Denison-Square Association?

To encourage waning business, Tommy Edwards disc jockey at WADC Akron, began emceeing live contry music shows at the Denison Square. The first show was on June 4, 1960^[3]. The following year, on Dec 1, 1961, Edwards opened his country music store, Hillbilly Heaven, across the street.^[4]. Not long afterwards, Edwards lamented the fact that it was difficult to get people out to support these country music acts.
