Marshalltown High School/Community Auditorium

Marshalltown High School/Community Auditorium
1602 S. 2nd Ave., Marshalltown, IA 50158
(Parking lot and auditorium on northeast side of building, off 3rd Ave.)

This facility, frequently described as "first class" is a reflection of the magnificent acoustics, an elegant environment and a fully equipped performance stage.  It is also a reflection of the Marshalltown community's "passion for excellence".  The MHS/Community Auditorium is truly a partnership between the public and private sectors of our community and has become a community showplace.
