Urban501
Our intimate home base pairs brick‑and‑beam character with big‑city polish—perfect for close‑up music, comedy, and supper‑party energy. The space includes a full bar and lounge. Initially built in 1928, as Downtown Marion’s Interurban Station for the CD&M Electric Railway Co, this gorgeous venue receives its name from the luxury passenger experience on the CD&M called Parlor Car 501.
The Brickyard On Main
Industrial‑elegant and steeped in history, this 1830s downtown gem gives our larger cabaret builds room to breathe. A glass garage door opens to a private, open‑air courtyard with pavers, turf, and a cozy fire feature, and the main hall seats events up to roughly 225. Flexible catering and a modern‑meets‑historic look make it a natural for high‑energy nights.
Palace Theatre May Pavilion
Attached to Marion’s 1928 John Eberson–designed Palace Theatre, the May Pavilion gives us a polished, glass‑lined setting for gala‑style cabaret and special engagements. With professional sound, projection, Wi‑Fi, portable staging, and a max event capacity around 350, it’s our pick when the evening calls for red‑carpet ambiance and theater‑level tech.
Twenty‑Three North
When we need scale without losing intimacy, we head just off US‑23 to this rustic‑elegant barn venue—crystal chandeliers above, wide‑open floor below. Reception capacity reaches up to 300, with two getting‑ready suites and an outdoor ceremony space—ideal for high‑capacity Rogue productions a short drive from downtown.
The Patio at Bucci’s Italian Scratch Kitchen
Our alfresco option lives at Bucci’s—housed in Marion’s historic 1928 Interurban Station—where open‑air seating and scratch‑made Italian turn summer shows into dinner‑and‑a‑show nights. The patio (co‑located with Urban501) regularly activates for live music and special events, giving us a laid‑back, local vibe under the lights.
