Ariel Theatre
Facility
Originally known as the Ariel Opera House, the theater opened its doors in December 1895. It closed in 1963, but reopened in 1990 after a restoration project that received a Preservation Merit Award from the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. The facility is now called the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre and honors Ms. Carson Dater, who has donated $4 million to the Ohio Valley Symphony Orchestra, the local project sponsor.
Current Project
Local sponsors are still deciding on the scope of a project for the $100,000 appropriation in Am. Sub. H.B. 16 of the 126th General Assembly.
