For a century, South Bend's Morris Performing Arts Center has transformed audiences through the magic of vaudeville, movies, theater, symphonies, ballet, and famous bands and movie stars from across the country. The adjoining Palais Royale dance hall has been the setting for proms and weddings, leaving indelible memories in the hearts of the community. All the while, the building itself has gone through its own transformations being saved from the wrecking ball in 1959 by Mrs. Ella Morris, the namesake of today's theater. PBS Michiana - WNIT will showcase the 100th anniversary of this artistic gem highlighting how the theater has served its community, and how the community has embraced the Morris.

In 2024, PBS Michiana WNIT commemorates five decades as a broadcast station. From Signal to Story: 50 Years of WNIT Public Television will revisit pivotal moments in the station's public television legacy. Originating in 1968, WNIT TV emerged as a grassroots initiative to launch an educational television station. From its inception as a broadcasting training ground to its evolution into a producer of documentaries and television programs, WNIT has remained steadfast in its mission to deliver high-quality educational and cultural content. This special documentary will reflect on the challenges, achievements, and contributions of volunteers, students, and staff members navigating a changing media landscape while upholding the station's values as a vital voice, storyteller and educator in the community.
