The Marathon Center for the Performing Arts (MCPA) is a beautifully renovated 960-seat performance space featuring a large proscenium stage with expanded backstage capabilities, state-of-the-art lighting and sound technology, a multi-purpose event hall, an atrium lobby, a lounge space, an art gallery, and flexible spaces in the lower level to provide arts education classes for the community. Since opening in December 2015, MCPA quickly has become the premiere performing arts center in the Northwestern Ohio region.
