The local praise and worship group United Worship will perform in the Palace May Pavilion on Friday, September 25 at 7:30 p.m. Playing original Contemporary Christian songs from their new CD, this group of God loving musicians unites as one to worship. Members include Wes Meadows, Matt Brent, Mallory Gleespen, Fermen Yoder, Doug Bowling, Matt Deeren, Andre South, and Ryan Bales. Opening for the band will be the faith-based rock & roll band SafeKept, based out of Columbus, Ohio. Tickets are $15.
On Sunday, September 27 at 3 p.m., patrons can celebrate and explore the Marion Palace theatre’s historic Wurlitzer during an event appropriately named Pedals, Pipes and Pizza. Audience members will experience a short silent film accompanied by professional organist John Lauter and enjoy selections and sing-a-long numbers by local organists, Father Buffer, Angela Carbetta and Greg McDonald. After the show, patrons will have the opportunity to find out how the organ works, play a piece of music and enjoy pizza on the Palace stage. Tickets for admission and pizza are $15.
September 25, 26 and 27 the theatre will show the romantic-comedy film, “Before We Go,” starring Chris Evans (Captain America) and Alice Eve.
