Built in 1957 and operated by the Wexner Center since 1989, Mershon Auditorium is a premier venue for dance, music, theater, lectures, multimedia presentations, and more.

Mershon has a seating capacity of nearly 2,500 on the main floor and in the balcony. Wheelchair-accessible seating is available. An orchestra pit, located off the front of the stage, accommodates 100 chairs. Precise acoustics, spacious seating, complete “back-of-house” facilities, and professional staff are just a few of the highlights of Mershon. The auditorium’s excellent sightlines make any seat the best in the house.

The stage at Mershon can also be transformed into a “black box” space, creating a more intimate and flexible setting, with both audience and performers on stage.
