Morris Performing Arts Center

Comment on Facebook

The Morris Performing Arts Center, located in the heart of downtown South Bend, Indiana is today the home of the Broadway Theatre League, the South Bend Symphony Orchestra, and the Southold Dance Theater. For over 75 years, the Morris has thrilled us, scared us, soothed us, rallied us, entertained us, and moved us to tears of sorrow and joy. It has drawn patrons from Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana and is the only venue of its caliber between Chicago, Detroit, and Indianapolis.

You will be close to your seat at show time when you enjoy dinner before the show at The Morris Bistro Restaurant conveniently located within the Morris complex! The Morris Bistro is open two hours before shows and boasts upscale, reasonably priced dining in an elegant atmosphere. Dinner/Show Ticket Packages with preferred seating in the theater are available for most shows featuring buffet dinners and a full cash bar including top shelf liquor and specialty wines.
