The Book of Mormon at Ohio Theater

The Book of Mormon

With NINE Tony Awards - including Best Musical - a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and leading New York Times critic Ben Brantley himself calling it the "best new musical of the century", The Book of Mormon's 2011 debut was a pop culture moment. Still enjoying concurrent engagements in London's West End and on Broadway, the bad boy of musical theatre remains a top draw, leaving audiences either outraged or in pain from laughing to this day. Now heading out across the country, don't miss your chance to catch this modern classic. Just be prepared for the lewd, the crude, and downright naughty songs and antics along the way...

The Diary Of Black Men at Mershon Auditorium

The Diary Of Black Men

An experience that's more than simply theatre, meet the men you know and uncover the truths you don't with a movement that has electrified audiences for over four decades. The Diary of Black Men isn't just the longest-running African American stage play in history; it's a cultural phenomenon. Written by Thomas Meloncon and directed by Danny Hodges, The Diary of Black Men is a reflection of the conversations our communities have been having for generations about the raw realities of being a Black man in America. First penned in the late '70s and continuously updated to stay relevant, it's as timely now as its debut.

David Cross at Columbus Athenaeum

David Cross

Many know him as the kooky never-nude Tobias Funke from the cult classic show Arrested Development, or as the titular character in the black comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, but David Cross cultivated his humor as a young stand-up in New York in the 80s before establishing himself as a TV star.
