Enriching the lives of audiences today and tomorrow. The Midland offers programming for every age level, every musical taste, drama and comedy, film and live presentations. We want The Midland to be home to community events. Various community organizations have preserved The Midland, bringing new life to existing programs as well as new entertainment and cultural options for the area. The community is also called on to restore the excitement to The Midland through their volunteer involvement. Volunteers for ushers, phone calls, ticket takers, office help and any number of tasks are needed. Anyone interested should call 345-LIVE (5483). In January 1929, The Midland Theatre Company published a message to the people of Newark. The message began, In the erection of The Midland Theatre building, it really means more than just a well-built playhouse – it is the expression of faith which we have in this community.
