The Robins Theatre in Warren, Ohio was commissioned by Daniel Robins, an early partner of Abraham Warner of the famed Warner Brothers. The Robins Theatre opened to a full house on January 9, 1923. The stage was used for vaudeville productions, screening motion pictures and live theatre. It remained in continuous operation until 1974, when the doors were permanently closed. By 2017, the theatre remained almost completely original, however, more than 45 years of vacancy had taken its toll. In December of 2017, the Robins Theatre was purchased by Downtown Development Group (DDG), which committed to restoring the theatre in two years with as much historical accuracy as possible. The Robins Theatre reopened to a full house on January 9, 2020.
