    The Top 10 Columbus Theatrical Groups of 2016

    There’s a lot of great live theater in Columbus, so fans of the performing arts have a plethora of options to choose from. When we surveyed our readers and contributors this year on their favorite local groups that produce live theater, Short North Stage rose to the top of the list for the first time. The organization has called the historic Garden Theater home since 2012, producing a wide variety of interesting shows every year.

    Columbus Underground Theater Critic Richard Sanford reviewed nearly a dozen Short North Stage shows throughout 2016, which were generally praised in high regards.

    “This production shows us all, again, what Short North Stage does better than anyone else in town,” said Sanford in his review of Kiss of the Spider Woman in November.

    The 2016-2017 at Short North Stage continues through July with upcoming productions of Hand to God, Monty Python’s Spamalot and Angels in America Parts One and Two.
