Nearly a year after kellyflamos closed on her deal to purchase the Variety Theater, the curtains remain closed on her vision to reinvent one of Cleveland’s historic landmarks. ⏳

Like the groups before Flamos, she faces a harsh reality: little can be done before untangling the web of necessary funding.

“I thought that my big challenge was going to be running the theater … getting people to come to the theater and keeping it going,” Flamos says. “Over the past year, I’ve realized that there are finish lines before I even get to that challenge.”

🧑‍💻 Head to the link in the bio for the history of Variety Theater and Flamos' fight to revive it.
