We were fortunate to find out that The Station and Bar Venue hosts an event every month presented…read moreby CBus Comedy. The tickets for last night's show were affordably priced at $10/each, we could not pass up the chance for some inexpensive laughter! We arrived to find a neighborhood bar on the first floor. Just a few bar patrons were sitting at the bar enjoying their favorite beers. They quickly assumed that we were there for the comedy show. The bartender offered to get us a round of drinks for the group. She also offered to open a tab for us. I was going to decline until I found out that the tab started at the bar on the first floor transfers up to the second floor. It is accessible on either floor. That is incredible convenience for the bar patron. We made our way up to the Venue portion of The Station. There is another bar well staffed there. The space was intimate and perfect for the comedy event. There was an ease of entering the show. We didn't have to dig or search for our tickets. They simply took our names and checked the guest list. I loved it. It was a first come, first seat yourself kind of event. We found ourselves front and center for the show. I loved the seats. I saw a group near us get a pizza delivered to their table. That is how I discovered that The Station had food. I didn't ever lay my eyes on a menu, but I could tell they had pizza and wings. The food will not WOW, but it will suffice to make sure you are not starving while enjoying your favorite beverage. The show started almost on time. As the show rolled on and the laughter roared, I noticed I needed another beer, but I was concerned about interrupting the show. I shouldn't have worried though, the awesome bartender started making her way around the crowd checking to see if she could grab anyone a drink. She took care of the guests so that they would not have to get up and distract from the comedians. It was incredible service and much appreciated. Our group of friends had the best time last night at The Station Bar & Venue. We highly suggest checking out next months comedy show presented by CBus Comedy!

Invitation To Dance

I've taken lessons here, on and off, for years…read more Invitation to Dance is owned by Stacy and Dana Coil, and I've had lessons with both of them. Sometimes my husband and I take lessons together, and sometimes we take them separately. They are both excellent instructors and made the experiences very enjoyable. I guess that's why we always go back. The dance floor is spacious, there is plenty of room to learn without colliding into other learners. My understanding is that they have other instructors that work for them, but I haven't had personal experiences with them. I do know that Dana and Stacy personally train all of their instructors. I highly recommend this studio for anybody who really wants to learn how to dance, and not just "learn steps."

She cares about teaching and helping you grow. She understands everyone's skills and goals are different. You won't have the exact same plan as the person in the next room, but it means you're growing the way you should in order to succeed. After I was "done" with voice lessons (when I left for college), I took piano lessons. They also offer guitar, small group ensembles and recitals! I've worked with many staff members when I needed to switch my day/time and they are all incredible people. Jodi is very specific when hiring and won't settle for someone who isn't the right fit for the students. I would say voice lessons worked well for me. I sang at Carnegie Hall in 2018. Years of practice and building my skills led me to that stage. Thanks, Jodi!

Our instructor took us two nervous, stiff, overwhelmed people and turned us into a couple who actually looked forward to practicing. Everything was broken down in a way that made sense, the lessons were fun and relaxed, and we felt way more confident after every session. By the time our wedding day arrived, we weren't just "getting through it." We actually looked like we were dancing naturally, and we were confident with it. Our guests were blown away, and it became one of our favorite memories of the entire day. If you're getting married and even thinking about lessons, do it. This studio made the whole experience easy, stress‑free, and genuinely special. Whether you want something simple and natural or a fully choreographed routine, you'll be in the best hands. We can't recommend them enough.

Their lead instructor, Emily, is one of the few female instructors in the area who has the credentials to compete at the professional open level and can compete with student partners in all four ballroom styles. But what makes Emily truly unique among the local instructors is that she's just as accomplished with club dances like salsa, bachata, and west coast swing, and can even teach dances that are harder to come by such as Argentine tango, kizomba, and urban kiz (the best dance, of course ;P). Basically, Emily is the most credentialed and well-rounded dance instructor in the area, and whatever your dance goals may be, she can at least get you started in the right direction.

The fundamental problem is that this has always been a museum nobody asked for in a location that would be better used for something more useful to the OSU community in a poorly planned building named after a person who is probably not a point of pride for the school and whose contribution cannot possibly have covered even a fraction of what it's cost to keep the place up over the years. Other than that, it's great. Seriously, though - if you're visiting columbus and want to see an art museum, the downtown one is the way to go, or their short north outpost if you're into contemporary art. If you're visiting Ohio State and want to see exhibits about what they do there, there are nice ones in the library and scattered across the various department buildings. I don't know what the future holds for this place...but they better figure something out before they go the way of Mean Mr. Mustard's.

Each production has pushed a boundary, and while a few company members reappear in different productions, they generally bring fresh faces and voices to each new story. I'm really excited for what the AVLT company plans to bring with the new season, and I encourage people to try them out. One of AVLT's best features is their "Pay what you want" program - just show up, and if the show isn't sold out you can get in for as little or as much as you can afford. If you like the show well enough to throw a few more dollars at the fishbowl on the way out, so much the better! These guys are good, they're local, and they're unique. Go see a show!

The audience was respectful of everyone's "space" and the restrooms were following strict Covid protocols. Legacy Barbecue is back for another season with their delicious bbq. The group is currently performing Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Personally, I had trouble following large parts of the play due to the sound. I'm not convinced their new audio system is an improvement over the old wireless mics that each actor wore, but I guess that's progress. It was also a bit confusing with 8 performers filling 18 roles - with individual actors playing both male and female roles. Overall, however, it was a great night; it was great being back in the park and it was great seeing the actors on stage again. Looking forward to the next production.

I expected to grade this four stars. Previous performances of this summer's must-do, four stars--if…read morenot three--is apt. Three though is a bit harsh for a free, community centered play--it's Columbus after-all, not LA or New York; though there has been a few summers of my discontent. This year's though was excellent, at least for Richard III now playing Thursday through Sunday until August 2nd. Cleverly set and costumed as a 1950s gangster tale, the play is still acted in its original language. The character are dressed in gangster suits and mob queen dresses foreground a mid-20th century cityscape. I love the creative change of some characters to accommodate the setting --Richard's servant here is a clipboard holding personal assistant, the court recorder is now a notepad nosey daily reporter, the regal messengers become heavy with a Brooklyn accent, the executioners are gun toting hit men. It all worked and was entertaining this year. I also applaud the acting. The lead, Dickie 3, was played well by Geoff Wilson. I also loved Beth Josephsen as Elizabeth Woodville, Edward IV's queen consort. She really remade Elizabeth as a strong mob-wife who could go shoulder to shoulder with the men. Of course you may not be familiar with Shakespeare's plays, or like them from force readings during school. Seeing it is different; you need not worry about archaic turns of phrase or Tudor court diction. You can easily follow along with context and tone of voice. The plays are meant to be seen acted anyways, not read. Of course some background could help so I suggest reading the history of Richard 3 online, or watching a documentary beforehand so you'll better understand. With two Henry's, two Richards, two Edwards, three Elizabeth's as well as the fact that each noble can go by their endowed name as well it can get confusing. ( there is a reason why they make you memorize the Kings of England in Shakespeare classes.) They do more then Shakespeare. Later in the season they will do a comedic run-through of literature that sounds like good parody and satire. I'll be there. It is free but please donate. You can bring a chair but I prefer a blanket and a spot near the stage. Don't forget bug spray. I was eaten alive because I forgot; my kingdom for some DEET.

I've only ever been to two performances by ProMusica, the other featuring Rachmaninoff, and I love how they talk about the pieces, discuss the composers' lives, and talk about their organization as a whole.

I watched WinterFEST: Vadim & Friends - Feb 26 - Mar 11 program and I am very happy with the quality and performance of its talented musicians. It brought a sense of nostalgia hearing musicians perform in harmony, in cohesive joy of performing music with others. Doesn't make sense? It is difficult to explain unless you experience it as a musician. Experiencing this joy is like a rare moment that is loved by many, marriage, birth, graduation etc. except this can happen simultaneously by musicians and more often when performing music. I can see the musicians bodies moving with the music in joy and miss that. Music temporarily brings happiness and healing that people need. Something I still long for since I wanted to become a music director and perform but choices hindered my chance. This definitely takes me back and I wish to see orchestra or concertos in person. The joyful musical moments I have experienced recently before COVID was watching Virgil Donati band live. I personally want to attend a performance again.
