This year marks 15 years of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert, where more than 300 professional performers have entertained more than 300,000 patrons in the Saltzgaber Auditorium. 

To celebrate, the Niswonger is hosting a series of special shows, including Marie Osmond on Saturday, Oct. 1. Osmond will grace the stage accompanied by the Lima Symphony Orchestra and a select Youth Choir of Van Wert County. 

With six decades in the entertainment business as a singer, television performer, talk show host, dancer, actor, author, entrepreneur, and public speaker, Osmond has managed to stay relevant through the years despite an ever-changing entertainment landscape. 

Live performances have always been where Osmond has shined, and the platinum-selling artist will undoubtedly dazzle as she performs her works in a rare collaboration with a full orchestra.
