The Warren Performing Arts Center
The Warren is a spectacular multipurpose Center designed by Daverman Associates/SP Group of Grand Rapids Michigan. Over 116,000 square feet of creative, technical and rehearsal space is designed to accommodate educational, performing and visual arts programs. The flexibility of the Warren lends itself ideally to all types of events. Built in 1983, the Warren Performing Arts Center remains a shining gem of culture for the greater Indianapolis Area and Warren Community.
The Eash Grand Auditorium is dedicated to the memory of Mr. C. E. Eash. He served as principal of Warren Central High School between 1924 and 1955. Respected and remembered by staff, former students and members of the surrounding communities, it is only fitting that the Eash Grand Auditorium in the Warren Performing Arts Center be dedicated in his name.
The Eash Grand Auditorium seats 1000 in an intimate and comfortable setting for any major music, theatre or dance event. The Grand Stage has over 5,000 square feet of space. Forty-Five trap doors in the stage floor allow for numerous lighting and other special effects.
The Acoustics are superb! A specially designed orchestra shell and ceiling, on stage, can be set in varying widths and depths for small or large music groups. Acoustic lateral-reflecting “clouds”; adjustable wall and ceiling banners; and, larger balcony curtain are designed to enhance acoustic quality.
“This Center is a masterpiece of educational opportunity as well as an excellent showplace for national entertainment groups.” Daverman Associates/Sp Group.
