Cultural & Entertainment Centers

Summer theater performs at the Western Reserve Playhouse. The playhouse, appropriately housed in an historic barn near Revere High School, produces three plays or musicals each summer. The Playhouse also offers a theater workshop for children. This workshop ends its session with a play in August.

Antique shops abound in Richfield and the neighboring communities, making the area an antique hunter's delight.

Because of Richfield's central location, other cultural and entertainment events are within a 45 minute drive. Most notably and especially nearby is the Blossom Music Center, the summer home for the world renowned Cleveland Orchestra serenely situated in a grove of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
