Become a 15th Anniversary Sponsor of the Miller Center for the Arts Legendary Berks County Philanthropist, Marlin Miller, had a dream to create a performing arts center that rivals any 500-seat theater in the nation.

Working closely with the President Emeritus, Gust Zogas as well as with the architects, construction crews and various visual artists, an extraordinary venue emerged that would bring some of the finest singers, musicians and dancers in the world to the campus of Reading Area Community College. Today, 15 years later, we celebrate a milestone anniversary that merits special recognition.

We look forward to celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the finest performing arts center between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with a remarkable season of performances.

The Miller Center is proud to host a large

number of rental events throughout the year, including 8+ Berks Jazz Fest events!
