Marcus Performing Arts Center is known for hosting touring Broadway productions, concerts, ballet shows, community programs, and other sources of entertainment within its walls all year long. Fortunately, the versatile venue also utilizes its exterior space to bring free, family-friendly entertainment downtown each and every summer.
Today, the Marcus folks released the lineup for its annual “Rainbow Summer” series. The six-day undertaking will take place outside Marcus Performing Arts Center Tuesday, July 14 through Sunday, July 19. During that span, the South Lawn will host family activities and vendors.
