AMERICA'S PUBLIC SCULPTOR
Marshall Fredricks
We are honored to display a curated exhibit from the MarshallFredericks Sculpture Museum, which includes sculptures from the permanent collection of "America's Public Sculptor," Marshall M. Fredricks.
Fredericks was a figurative, public, and architectural sculptor. Throughout his career, his artwork reflected his personality - his pieces are overwhelmingly positive, whimsical in nature, and often a reflection of his sense of humor and humanistic beliefs.
He received more than 500 major sculptural commissions, including six from the United States Government. His work can be seen in more than 150 public and corporate locations across the United States and throughout the world, including parks and gardens, government embassies and royal palaces, museums, zoos, libraries, and hospitals.

BEFORE THE SHOW
Find Your Seat for the Season
Our Inaugurial Season is underway; an evening of music, theater, and dance is always close at hand. Browse what's on stage and reserve your seats.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Everything for an Easy Evening
Parking, concessions, accessibility, and when to arrive; the details that let you settle in before the lights go down. A little planning makes for an unhurried night out.
AFTER THE CURTAIN
Keep the Stage Lit
The Schaap Center is a nonprofit, and every performance is made possible by people who believe in it. Your gift helps keep the curtain rising for seasons to come.
