Where the Curtain Rises and the Beat Drops — Marion’s Live Arts & Entertainment Directory
Looking for the real movers and makers in Marion’s arts scene? This is it. Our directory isn’t just a list of places — it’s a roundup of the theatres, bars, and production companies that actually produce the shows, concerts, comedy nights, and special events that make this county come alive.
From mainstays like the Marion Palace Theatre to newer powerhouses like Rogue Theatrics, Bowstring Bar & Grill, Kin & Kilt, and Passenger & Rail Co., these are the stages where it all happens. Whether it’s a cabaret, an improv night, a band in the back room, or a full-blown musical, these venues and groups are the ones putting in the work (and the lights and the speakers) to make it happen.
Think of this list as the starting point for your next night out — or your next booking.
