History
Starting with the week-long grand opening of the Palladium in January 2011, the Center for the Performing Arts has become an inviting gathering place for the community, along with the Center's Studio Theater and the Tarkington. Combined, the three venues are a place for community engagement and for people to celebrate great art together.
