SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Big changes are coming to the Morris ahead of its 100th anniversary in 2022.

Officials from South Bend Venues Parks & Arts announced a campaign today to raise $30 million to support the building’s changes, which includes interior upgrades, a three-level parking garage, changes to the outdoor plaza, a building expansion, and two endowment funds to support the building in its next 100 years.

The Morris will also oversee and be a lead donor of a new Equity in the Arts program with American Theatre Guild.

Any donation to the Morris 100 capital campaign will go towards these improvements and changes.
