MILWAUKEE - While the Marcus Center lay vacant due to the pandemic, the downtown performing arts center invested in a renovation of Uihlein Hall.
Guests will notice new seats, a new seating configuration utilizing multiple aisles, increased public health and safety amenities and enhanced ADA accommodations when the doors open May 7. As we realized the pandemic was going to last far longer than any of us could have initially anticipated, we recognized an opportunity to focus on making important improvements to our space while the venue was closed, said Marcus Center President and CEO Kendra Whitlock Ingram. After speaking with resident companies, including the Milwaukee Ballet and Florentine Opera, our top priority quickly became renovating the seats in Uihlein Hall.
