There was a lot of performance art worth viewing in 2017 at theater production companies all throughout Columbus. And for the second year in a row, our readers and editors selected Short North Stage as the #1 group in Columbus for your theatrical viewing needs.
CU Theatre Critic Richard Sanford was a regular at the troupe’s Garden Theatre throughout the year, writing up reviews of productions that ranged from comedic (Monty Python’s Spamalot) to epic (Angels in America: Perestroika) to exuberant (Dreamgirls).
While some may bemoan the loss of the “Arts” in the Short North Arts District, there’s proof that the Short North Stage only continues to take their performances to new heights with each passing year.
