The Blue Gate in Shipshewana has opened a new 15-hundred seat theater.

The $4 million dollar venue includes more seating with better sight lines, a larger stage that can accommodate more elaborate productions.
That will enable the theater to host Martina McBride, Travis Tritt and
Celtic Woman among other shows this year.

Other acts scheduled this year include Jeff Foxworthy, Gary Allan, Josh
Turner, and Newsboys United. More than 80 concerts and shows are scheduled so far.

The schedule can be viewed online at The-Blue-Gate-dot-com. An open house for the public will be March 24th from 4 to 7 p-m.
