History

In 1919, the Arts Center Foundation converted the former Metropolitan Department store into the Metropolitan Arts Center, a multipurpose arts facility.[2] The Loft Theatre, located on the third floor of the Center, was designed by Dayton Architect Dale D. Smith to be home to The Human Race Theatre company, who has been at the theatre since its opening. The Loft Theatre features a thrust stage.[3]

The other levels of the Metropolitan Arts Center serve other purposes. The ground floor is occupied by UNO Chicago Bar & Grill, and studio and offices of Dayton Public Radio.[4] The second and fourth floors feature rehearsal space, dance studios, The Human Race Theatre Company's costume shop, and offices for the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance.
