The Center Stage at Holmes Center for the Arts in Millersburg scheduled five performances of The Prince of Egypt at 5200 State Route 39, giving Holmes County families a local night out without leaving the county. The run included 6:30 p.m. shows Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday, plus a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee, with tickets available online.

Holmes Center for the Arts bills itself as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in Millersburg and says it offers classes, performances and presentations in dance, music, theatre and art. The center says it has sold 3,988 tickets, served more than 633 students, offered 42 classes a week and staged 21 live performances, making the venue a regular part of the county’s arts calendar rather than a one-time stop.

For Holmes County residents weighing a weekend budget, the show offered a nearby option in a county where local outings often mean short drives to Millersburg, Berlin or Walnut Creek instead of an evening in a bigger city. The schedule also gave families a choice of a Sunday matinee or weekday evening performances, which can matter for parents balancing work, church and summer plans.

The production landed inside a broader local tourism economy that leans on attractions, events, dining and lodging. Visit Amish Country promotes those categories as part of Holmes County travel planning, and the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau in downtown Millersburg says it provides visitors with information on events, accommodations, dining and attractions. Discover Holmes County Ohio describes the county as home to the largest population of Amish in the United States.

That visitor traffic sits alongside a county population of 44,223 in the 2020 census and an estimated 44,970 on July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In a county that size, a five-show theater run at 5200 State Route 39 is the kind of event that can fill an evening, pull in neighbors from nearby villages and keep attention close to home.
