The Marie Rader Presenting Series (MRPS) at Rowan University is a curated performing arts series that uplifts the region’s cultural landscape. 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.
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. The Marie Rader Series has a goal of raising an additional $5,000 to continue hosting world-class artists right here in South Jersey.
We celebrate gifts to the Marie Rader Series in many ways:
