Built in 1969, The Stranahan Theater, formerly called the Masonic Auditorium, is the biggest proscenium stage in Northwest Ohio! The magnificent building features a foyer of 3,000 square feet, with 10,000 square feet of meeting space in the adjacent Great Hall. The theater also provides parking space for up to 1,200 vehicles.

The Great Hall is also used to host aroundd 150 receptions, banquets and functions per year, but the Stranahan Theater is primarily a concert venue.
