1 FOR THE ROAD
FRI, MAY 20
o finish the 2015-16 Touring Artist season, the
Palace will present one of the most iconic Rock
& Roll bands of all time – KANSAS on Saturday, May
14 at 8pm. For over four decades, KANSAS has been
part of the Rock & Roll landscape performing to
sell out concert halls and arenas worldwide. Palace
management is excited to unite this legendary band
with their fans in Marion, Ohio
Band members Phil Ehart, Billy Greer, David Manion,
Ronnie Platt, David Ragsdale, and Richard Williams
are looking forward to bringing their one-of-a-kind
music to the Palace stage. This “garage band” from
Topeka released their debut album in 1974 and
skyrocketed to fame with hit singles such as Carry
On Wayward Son, Point of Know Return, and Dust
in the Wind. With over 30 million records sold, the
band boasts 8 gold albums, 3 sextuple-platinum
albums and 1 platinum live album. Along with
touring, KANSAS continues to remain a fixture of
Classic Rock radio. They have reached a whole new
APRIL/MAY 2016
audience through their unmistakable presence on
the popular video games Rock Band and Guitar Hero,
as well as through their songs’ inclusion in various
television shows (Supernatural and South Park) and
films (Old School and Anchorman).
You don’t want to miss your chance to see this
legendary band live in concert. Tickets are selling
quickly and are priced at $34, $42, $48, $55. Call
the Box Office at 740-383-2101 or order online

Since 1928, the Palace Theatre’s iconic marquee has lit up to welcome
performers to the stage and patrons to the seats. However, eight decades
of harsh winters and heavy rains took a toll on the beautiful building. In Oct
2013, the theatre began the $1.8 million restoration to the decaying historic
façade. In addition to the replacement of brick, terra cotta and steel, the
upright P-A-L-A-C-E blade sign and canopy marquee have been updated
with 900 environmentally friendly lighting components. The project was
officially completed and unveiled on April 3, 2016. Listed below are names of
companies and individuals who pledged to RELIGHT THE PALACE MARQUEE.
A sincere THANK YOU goes to these donors who each played a significant part
in restoring the Palace’s grand entrance, thus keeping the arts alive and well
in Marion, Ohio.
