ABOUT

Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center (MRPAC) is a 398-seat venue at 1 School Street in Foxborough, Massachusetts, hosting live music, comedy, theater, and family events. The comfortable auditorium provides full stage visibility from every seat.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Expect a varied calendar including tribute bands, comedy nights, musical theater, psychic shows, and community productions. The venue books a mix of touring acts and local organizations, with programming spanning rock, pop, and Broadway-style performances.

HISTORY

The building was constructed in 1926 as a silent movie house, though the original Orpheum Theatre had operated next door since 1912. The Orpheum closed as a first-run triplex in 1991 after 75 years. The Foxborough Regional Center for the Performing Arts purchased it in 1993 and reopened it as a performing arts center in 1994. It was renamed the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center in October 2017.
