About the Marie Rader Presenting Series

The Marie Rader Presenting Series (MRPS) at Rowan University is a curated performing arts series that uplifts the region’s cultural landscape. Focused on community engagement, artistic integrity, and inclusion, MRPS provides public offerings that reflect the innovation and quality consistent with Rowan University’s overall standards of high achievement and transformation, while providing unprecedented access for youth, families, and seniors.

Because of the Marie Rader Series, you don't have to travel to New York or Philadelphia to see some of the most influential performing artists of our time. This series is also designed to introduce you to artists you wouldn't otherwise encounter-- who reflect not only the future of performing arts, but who help us envision a better world, right here in South Jersey.

The series is made possible in part through generous support from the Henry M. Rowan Family Foundation via the Marie Rader Memorial Fund and through funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

We are committed to delivering accessible, high quality programming for all. If you have the means to invest in our future growth, we would greatly appreciate a financial gift of any size.

THANK YOU.
