Holmes Center for the Arts to stage The Prince of Egypt in Millersburg
Millersburg families will have five chances to see The Prince of Egypt at Center Stage, with a Saturday matinee and evening shows June 25-29.
Holmes County families looking for a summer outing will have a new option in downtown Millersburg when Holmes Center for the Arts stages The Prince of Egypt at Center Stage over five performances from June 25 through June 29.
The run gives local residents and visitors multiple chances to fit a show into a busy late-June calendar, with evening performances and a Saturday matinee among the dates on the schedule. The production will be staged at Center Stage, the Holmes Center’s theater at 5200 State Route 39 in Millersburg, putting the event within easy reach of downtown diners, shoppers and anyone planning a day in Amish Country.
The musical is a stage adaptation of DreamWorks’ animated film and brings together music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Philip LaZebnik. Music Theatre International says the show includes 10 new songs written by Schwartz along with five songs from the film, including the Oscar-winning When You Believe. The Millersburg production is directed by Jaime White.
For the Holmes Center for the Arts, the show is more than a single title on the calendar. The nonprofit organization says it exists to provide educational and performing opportunities in the arts for people of all economic and social backgrounds in a family-oriented atmosphere, and its programming spans dance, music, visual arts and theatre. The Prince of Egypt gives the center a high-profile summer production that can draw both local families and out-of-town guests deciding where to spend time and entertainment dollars in Holmes County.
The timing also shows how quickly Center Stage has become part of the center’s larger footprint. The flexible black box theater, with retractable seating, opened in January 2025 and expanded the organization’s ability to mount bigger productions and use the space for a wider range of programming. A musical of this scale helps confirm that the new venue is already being put to work for headline events rather than sitting on the sidelines.
Visit Amish Country includes the Holmes Center for the Arts among Holmes County’s theater and entertainment options, underscoring the role live performance plays in the area’s visitor economy. With five show dates packed into the final week of June, The Prince of Egypt gives Millersburg another reason to stay local, head downtown and make a night of it.
