The historic Murphy Theatre in Wilmington, Ohio was built in 1918 by Charles Murphy, a native of Wilmington and owner of the Chicago Cubs from 1906-1914. Under his ownership, the Cubs won the World Series in 1907 and 1908 (the team's only WS titles until 2016). The late actor John Ritter married actress Amy Yasbeck at the theatre on September 18, 1999. 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of The Murphy Theatre.
