PLAINFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — After six years of planning and building, Hendrick’s Live! will host performances this March.

Dan Bridget, chair of the Hendrick’s Live! Board of Directors calls the inaugural season a grand finale and a new beginning.

“I am pleased to know our community arts partners throughout Hendricks County will have a brand-new, world-class home in the Plainfield Civic Center, and I am confident in Hendricks Live!’s ability to bring exciting programming to west central Indiana,” he said.

The venue, which has a seating capacity of 600, is located at 200 W. Main Street in historic downtown Plainfield. Over the next few weeks, the venue will have a variety of ‘Community Open House’ dates ahead of scheduled concerts.

Executive Director of Hendricks Live! Chris Petrelli says the venue will be a “source of pride” and “a great resource for local and regional talent.”

“We can’t wait for the public to see all of the hard work in action,” he said.
