Tecumseh Theater Presents “Crossfire”
On Saturday, April 15th, the Tecumseh Commons in the Historic Tecumseh Theater is excited to welcome Thornville’s own “Crossfire” to our house for the very first time. This is sure to be a fun and popular show! Please keep in mind that we do not have reserve seating, and that with a full house anticipated, there almost certainly will not be seats for everyone- particularly on the side with the band. More seating will be available on the “bar” side.
A bit about the band from their website, http://www.crossfirerawk.com/

Thank you for alertng us to the knowledge that tells us the Tecumseh theater is finally being used. I’m pretty sure that I saw “Gone With the wind” in that theater when it first came out That was many years ago. Are they also using the large lounge and rest rooms? I remember it all, down to the large roasted peanuts we got on our banana splits from the restaurant. I live in Indpls., Indiana and don’t get to see Ohio relatives very often. If I’m ever there at your show time, I’ll do my best to return back to the olde days. I wish you all a very successful journey, and THANK YOU for all the renovation work. Good Luck to all!

Thanks for your nice comments Bernice! Yes, the entire first floor is now in use, although probably not as you remember it. The Hannah family is certainly a Shawnee treasure and if it had not been for their furniture store and the buildings they’ve maintained, Shawnee’s Main Street would not be the treasure that it is!
We visited the Tecumseh for the 19th annual Little Cities of Black Diamonds event on October 20, 2013. I was impressed by the repair work up stairs to keep the roof from caving in. The original ticket booth with the hand painted sign “Couples 35 cents” is a historic gem!
Downstairs we had pie and soup for lunch. Then Pete Shew and the Back Porch Swing Band
had the people clapping — we had a good time!

Just listening to a Faces/Rod Stewart tune, Oh La La, that I heard Apple & The Moon do at Casa in Athens a while back…and my sweetheart and I stopped in Shawnee for 3 hours on 7/18, on our way to Kelley’s Island, taking photos and looking everywhere and taking ourselves back in time 125 years…so now we are planning to combine these two experiences by coming to the benefit concert. Due to our curiosity about old buildings, will there be any chance to view other parts of the theater besides the Commons? That would be a wonderful addition to the concert…
Hi Carey,
Thanks for dropping the very cool note. We will be happy to have you both visit on the 20th! As far as viewing other parts of the theater: one unfortunate side effect of the current renovation phase is that the upstairs remains off limits and is expected to still be so for the concert (we are in the process of getting a brand new stairway!). We hope to have that space available to visit again by appointment ASAP. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates, and feel free to keep in touch.
Also, I should apologize for the non-functioning ticket purchase link from this site. It is a technical issue which should be resolved very soon.
Be sure to say Hi at the show, I’ll be serving beverages. Look forward to meeting you!
