The Howard County Council this week approved $137 million in funding for a new arts center to be built in Columbia, Maryland, by the end of 2024.
The facility includes a new Toby’s Dinner Theatre, black-box children’s theater, rooftop performance space and classrooms for the Columbia Center for Theatrical Arts.
Toby’s Dinner Theatre owner Toby Orenstein told WTOP the project fulfills the dream of Howard County developer Jim Rouse, adding that County Executive Calvin Ball was instrumental in getting approval: “[He] has been coming to my theater since he was 12, and he worked very hard to find a way for it to happen.”
