MCPA is... talented! Part of what makes MCPA so amazing is the incredible talent that takes the stage. Whether it's the fun and folksy [email protected] Series, side-splitting laughs at a Saturday Family Series performance, your local favorites playing at Boogie or in Latham Courtyard or a big name off-Broadway musical, there is a lot of talent that comes through our doors and we love sharing it with you! 🎭🎙️🪕🎶🎟️ #findlay #findlayohio #supportthearts #MCPA #MCPAisYou #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #supportthearts #fundthearts #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #livemusic #saveourstages

Box Office Hours are changing on September 28!

MCPA is... philanthropic! As a non-profit, MCPA literally would not exist if it weren't for our donors. It is through the generosity of donors that we are able to provide the services and experiences that we do here in Findlay. Every donor and every donation makes a difference, and our future relies on your generosity. Thank you for supporting the arts ❤️ #findlay #findlayohio #supportthearts #MCPA #MCPAisYou #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #supportthearts #fundthearts #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

MCPA is... joyful! We miss live music, but even more than that, we miss experiencing live music with a packed house, good friends, drinks, singing-along, dancing, fun on a Friday night. MCPA would be nothing without its patrons. Thank you for making MCPA what it is ❤️ #findlay #findlayohio #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #patrons #joy #livemusic #saveourstages #supportthearts #MCPAisYou

MCPA is... formative! Did you know that arts education (other than being amazing!) has real, tangible results for the students invloved? Students engaged in arts learning have higher GPAs, standardized test scores, and college-going rates as well as lower drop-out rates. And these academic benefits are reaped by students regardless of socioeconomic status. We could list dozens and dozens of figures that support this, but the wonderful people at @americans4arts already compiled them in a beautiful publication you can read at the link in our bio! #arts #artseducation #artsed #artseducationmatters #artsedweek #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio #ohio #supporthearts

MCPA is... expressive! Being an outlet for expression (we think!) is one of the most beautiful things about the arts. Arts education brings this opportunity to people of all ages as they practice and learn new ways to share their stories. Our outreach efforts like participating in @mazzamuseum's Funday Sundays, National Night Out or activities throughout the building prior to a Family Series show, help bring this opportunity to our community in increasingly creative ways! #artsed #artseducation #artsedweek #artseducationmatters #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio #artsforall

MCPA is... participatory! The beauty of arts education is that it's for the young AND the young at heart! That's right adults, we're looking at you 😉 Our adult workshop series was a new addition last season with workshops in everything from improv to writing nonfiction. Don't worry, that won't be the last you see of these fun evenings at MCPA 🎭✍🏼💐🎨 #findlay #findlayohio #MCPA #artseducation #artsedweek #artsed #artseducationmatters #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts

MCPA is... collegiate! 🎓 We LOVE working with the @uftheatreprogram! This amazing community partner is so very much a part of MCPA, and seeing them bring our space to life is one of our very favorite things. Go Oilers! 🧡🎭🖤 @ufindlay #arts #artseducation #artsed #artseducationmatters #artsedweek #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio #UF

MCPA is... exploratory! Fueling a sense of curiosity in learning is one of our favorite things about education. Through our school day matinees known as the Spark Series, we get to open up and explore the world of theater and performing arts for children - sometimes even for the very first time! Busloads of children may seem chaotic (and it sometimes is 😉), but there is something magical about theater that captures the attention and imagination that makes the experience so very worth it! #SparkSeries #arts #artseducation #artsed #artseducationmatters #artsedweek #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio

MCPA is... youthful! When it comes to our arts education programming, Youtheatre is often the most well known. Its mission is to create an inclusive environment in which to inspire and enrich the lives of all youth, regardless of income or ability, by providing educational opportunities and promoting appreciation of the arts. Open to all area youth in grades 1-12, you'll see productions by all age groups put on throughout the year - their mainstage musicals might be some of our favorites! #education #artseducation #artsedweek #artsed #artseducationmatters #Youtheatre #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio

MCPA is... education! This week marks National Arts in Education Week and we are celebrating by highlighting all of the wonderful ways MCPA IS arts education! 🎨🎭🎶🩰 When you think of education, you probably first think of children. And it’s true that MCPA’s Arts Education programs provide many experiences for students to explore all the possibilities the arts have to offer, but MCPA’s learning experiences are not only for the young but also for the young at heart! We provide a variety of workshops and lectures from acting and writing to talks with authors and visual artists that welcome all members of our community. #education #artseducation #artsedweek #artsforall #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #OhioArtsStrong

MCPA is... valuable! We love to say the arts are “valuable”, but sometimes we mean it in a very tangible way. According to the @americans4arts “Arts & Economic Prosperity Calculator”, MCPA brings an estimated $4 million to Hancock County in wages, spending and taxes. And for every dollar spent on tickets, an estimated $12 is in turn spent on shopping, dining and hotel stays directly related to the event tickets are purchased for! #findlay #findlayohio #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #arts #art

MCPA is... diverse! #MCPA #findlay #findlayohio #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #diverse #diversity #diversitymatters #diversityinthearts

MCPA is... local 📍 Located in the heart of @downtownfindlay, MCPA is proud to be YOUR performing arts center ❤️ #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio

MCPA is... Central 🏫 MCPA was literally born out of the campaign to "Save Central". We might be young as an organization, but our roots go back a long way. Once Findlay High School and then Central Middle School, the community came together in a spectacular way to preserve the beloved venue we now know as the Donnell Theater. #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #findlay #findlayohio #Central #SaveCentral #CentralMiddleSchool #FindlayHighSchool #history

MCPA is... cooperative 👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏼🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻 Not only do our community partners make so much about MCPA possible, but their work with us provides a richness that makes the MCPA experience so unique and memorable. Like, sure you could have any coffee cake at Business to Business, but @weserve.coffee's is something extra special 😉 We LOVE working with local schools, businesses, organizations and individuals to celebrate all that Findlay and our community has to offer ❤️ #Findlay #FindlayOhio #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #localbusiness #localfood #locallove #local #workingtogether #partnership

MCPA is... fun! When you’re with friends, the plans are only half the fun. The arts bring people together in way that few other things can and we miss having you all here with us. We’ll be together having fun again soon, Findlay ♥️ #findlay #findlayohio #mcpa #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #fun #thearts #arts #nightlife #havingfun

MCPA is... community ❤️ We say it a lot because it's very true - we are so very proud and thankful to be apart of this community. While MCPA may be young, our roots go back quite a way as our building was once Findlay High School, then Central Middle School. And even merged with The Arts Partnership back in 2018 under the MCPA name. We are proud to be a community gathering space that helps build valuable relationships, honor diversity and encourages us to support one another. We value each of our patrons and love the role we play in enriching the lives in Findlay and Hancock County! *It might be helpful to note that this photo was taken pre-COVID during Boogie 2019. #arts #MCPA #findlay #findlayohio #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #community #HancockCounty #performingartscenter

MCPA is... magical ✨ There is something truly magical about the arts and experiencing it in person, whether it's original paintings in a gallery or an international ballet troupe taking the stage, live art is a special sort of magic ✨ #magical #magic #arts #artsaremagical♥️ #artsaremagic #liveart #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts

MCPA is... literary 📚 We love being able to celebrate the art of the written (and spoken) word at MCPA. What's your favorite literary inspired piece performed at MCPA? Who's been your favorite visiting author? what author would you LOVE to see at MCPA? #books #booklover #booknerd #literature #literary #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #library #librarylove

MCPA is... creative! Arts and creativity go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong 🎶😉 #NamethatMusical #creativity #creative #MCPA #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts

MCPA is... theatrical 🎭🎥👏🏼 Obviously 😉 What's your favorite theatrical performance you've seen at MCPA? #theater #theatre #theatrekid #theatrelife #theatrical #drama #musicaltheatre #musicals #plays #Broadway #Broadwaymusical #communitytheatre #communitytheater

MCPA is... visual 🎨🖼️📸 The Fisher/Wall Art Gallery is a point of immense pride at the Center. We are incredibly lucky to have dedicated space not just for the incredible performing arts you'd expect to experience at a theater, but also the visual arts! Named for Beverly Fisher and Jim Wall, this gallery typically sees about 6-7 exhibitions a year featuring local, regional, national and even international artists and artist groups. Paired with the Center's own art collection displayed and rotated throughout the building, along with smaller art displays rotating through the Heminger Atrium, we love celebrating all facets of the arts! #art #artgallery #FisherWallArtGallery #MCPA #Findlay #FindlayOhio #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #visualart #artists #supportartists

MCPA is... musical 🎶🎤🎹🪕🥁 It’s hard to think of MCPA and not think of music, concerts, pianos, musicals, band concerts, choirs, banjos in the Armes Hall, the orchestra, the conductors and directors. Music flows through so much of the Center - we cant wait to experience it again with you all ♥️ . . . #music #musical #MCPA #MCPAis #marathoncenterfortheperformingarts #concert #concerts #orchestra #classicalmusic #instrumental #song #singer #singing
