The Ware Center

Lancaster County's Home for the Cultural Arts, The Ware Center, located in the heart of downtown Lancaster, is one of two visual and performing arts centers offering a multitude of programming from Millersville University. Our second, The Winter Center, is located on campus.

The Club 42 Series, offered under the stunning glass pyramid ceiling of the Atrium, presents touring and local artists performing jazz, pop, folk, new music, and cabaret. With a beautiful Steinway grand piano, intimate table seating, small plate options and a cash bar, Club 42 is Lancaster's premier space for music listening. We also present music in the Owen Salon overlooking Prince Street, and our 350 seat Steinman Concert Hall - all ideal venues for the performing arts.
