Constructed as the Flannigan and Steele Theater in 1927, the Kent Stage is the only remaining downtown theater of its kind in Portage County. The building opened as a movie theater and has entertained audiences in Kent for 82 years. The Western Reserve Folk Arts Association opened up the Kent Stage in 2002 continuing a tradition of providing quality entertainment in Downtown Kent.

The Western Reserve Folk Arts Association is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit corporation. The Western Reserve Folk Arts Association was created to preserve and support traditional music and arts through education, concerts, festivals, outreach programs and workshops. The Western Reserve Folk Arts Association provides individuals and organizations opportunities for exposure and participation in these activities within the region.
