Morris A. Mechanic Theatre
The Morris A. Mechanic Theatre was a playhouse at 1 North Charles Street that was part of the Charles Center of Baltimore, Maryland. The theatre was built by and named for owner Morris A. Mechanic who operated a number of theatres in the city.
==History==
Mechanic planned the theatre to replace the aging Ford's Grand Opera House which he purchased in 1929. He engaged architect John M. Johansen who designed the building in a style he termed “functional expressionism”, also known as brutalism. Mechanic chose the site formerly occupied by offices of ''The Baltimore Sun''.
Mechanic died while the building was under construction and his widow, actress Elaine Swann, Mayor Theodore McKeldin and Eugene M. Feinblatt, chairman of the Baltimore Urban Renewal and Housing Agency, presided over the opening gala January 16, 1967. For many years, the theater was Baltimore’s primary venue to host touring Broadway plays and helped the city shed its reputation as a “lousy theatre town.” However in the 1980s and 1990s, producers felt that the theatre was too small and outdated to accommodate the larger shows of the era.
Jujamcyn Productions began managing the Mechanic in 1998. SFX (later Clear Channel Entertainment) bought Jujamcyn Productions in 2000. The theater ceased operation in 2004 when the restored Hippodrome Theatre reopened. Clear Channel Entertainment operated the Hippodrome and choose not to renew its lease on the Mechanic.
