Originally founded as the summer home of the Philadelphia Orchestra, The Mann Center for the Performing Arts is the only outdoor cultural arts venue in the Philadelphia region and one of the largest of its kind in the nation.

This unique open-air theater has hosted some of the world’s best-known artists and performances. Today, The Mann offers a range of arts programs like nowhere else in the area—from orchestra to opera, dance to drumming, pops and jazz to rock and roll.
