(From the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts)

On this day 11 years ago, the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts broke ground on a bold vision to transform the former Central Middle School auditorium into a vibrant cultural hub. Backed by strong community support, this moment marked the beginning of a new era for the arts in Findlay.

Since that groundbreaking, MCPA has become a cornerstone of arts and entertainment in Northwest Ohio, hosting national touring acts, Broadway performances, local talent, and thousands of guests each season.

What started as a dream in 2014 has grown into a vibrant, thriving hub that continues to inspire creativity, connection, and community.

Celebrate this milestone with us by making a donation to support the next decade of arts, culture, and community at MCPA.
