(May 15, 2018) – The Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department announced today that a new act will light up the stage at the outdoor venue. On September 21 at 8:00 p.m. Modest Mouse will perform as a highlight to the 2018 summer series. Modest Mouse formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington and has become, over the past two decades, the indie rock gold standard: One of the few bands capable of achieving massive popularity without sacrificing their longtime fans.

The Parks and Recreation Department also offered tours of the newly renovated Theatre lower level featuring upgraded amenities including seven dressing rooms, two new restrooms with showers, a private lounge, a spacious green room, a production office, storage space, heating and cooling and drainage improvements. The construction cost of $500,000 was funded as a park bond project. Tim Byers, Theatre Manager said “Performer amenities serve as a key role in attracting talented and engaging acts to the facility and these improvements will serve the community well for many years to come.”
