The Midland Theatre is a 1,800-seat theatre that was built in 1928 in the Newark Downtown Historic District of Newark, Ohio, USA. Since 2000, it has been used as a performance venue for live music and other performing arts events.
History
After opening its doors on December 20, 1928[2], the Midland Theatre served the community of Newark, Ohio, for 50 years primarily as a movie theater, until it closed in 1978.[3] In need of repairs, it was purchased by Dave Longaberger and The Longaberger Company in 1992, and after an 8-year, $8.5 million renovation, the Midland opened again in 2000.[3]
Longaberger entrusted the property to The Newark Midland Theatre Association, a local volunteer, non-profit organization.[3] It is also supported by the Ohio Arts Council.[4]
Today, various musical performances by nationally known performers are held at the theater.
