The Clyde Theatre Fort Wayne

Description

The Clyde Theatre is a locally-owned, independent concert venue and special event center located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The building, originally built in 1951 as a 1782-seat movie theater, was purchased by Rick Kinney in 2012 after being abandoned and vacant for nearly 20 years. Kinney’s vision was to resurrect the theater, complete an extensive renovation and reopen the facility as a state-of-the-art concert venue and special event center. For 6 years Kinney worked tirelessly to raise awareness of The Clyde project and secure the millions of dollars needed to renovate the theater. Thanks to a major contribution from Chuck and Lisa Surack, construction began in 2017 and The Clyde Theatre is scheduled to open on May 12, 2018 for its first national concert featuring The Used, Red Sun Rising, and The Fever 333.
