The Agora Theatre and Ballroom (commonly known as the Cleveland Agora, or simply, the Agora) is a music venue located in Cleveland, Ohio.
Gary LoConti opened the first Agora on February 27, 1966, near the campus of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Gary’s concept of promoting live entertainment for young adults was an instant success and audiences outgrew both the building and the neighborhood almost immediately.
