Realizing the dream of an arts hub in Downtown Columbia

DC Metro Theater Arts: Eighteen years ago, rock musician and Howard County resident Ian Kennedy heard some news about the future of the popular outdoor venue Merriweather Post Pavilion (MPP). The property was at the mercy of a development company who, in their quest to make the area more resident-friendly, wanted to raze the 1967 open-air concert hall. Ian had spent much of his life in and around Symphony Woods, gigging with his band – he had even played guitar on MPP’s stage during his own high school graduation.
