In the vein of 'And Then There Were None,' 'Clue' and 'Murder by Death,' 'The Vultures' puts a modern, comedic, gay spin on the haunted house/mystery genre. On the 20th anniversary of the death of publishing magnate Simon West, his six remaining relatives gather for the reading of his will -- the mysterious housekeeper declares, 'The relatives are swooping in like a wake of vultures ready to pick the carcass clean.' As the night progresses and a storm rages, sanity comes into question and one of the group goes missing. Where did they go? Were they murdered or did they escape? Who will ultimately inherit the fortune? Performances are May 22 thru June 1st, 2019 at the Columbus Performing Arts Center, 549 Franklin Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215.

A stage manager cues the creation of the world. She's in control of everything, she's either God, or she thinks she is. Adam and Steve and Jane and Mabel, in The Garden of Eden, an ark, a visit with a highly rambunctious Pharaoh and finally even the Nativity. Fast forward to modern day Manhattan another baby, a lesbian wedding with a Jewish lesbian Rabbi to officiate and a bond that cannot be broken. Performances are November 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 at 8:00 pm and Matinee Sunday November 12th at 2:00 pm. Columbus Performing Arts Center, Shedd Theatre, 549 Franklin Avenue, Columbus, OH 43215.

It's not every day you are invited to sit in the studio audience of a late-night talk show -- especially one hosted by the Supreme Being credited with creating heaven and earth. CATCO's 'An Act of God' brings the King of the Universe to a sparsely decorated set in the heart of Ohio for a tell-all session packed with sarcasm, sass and lots of laughs.

Imagine you're on the set of a late-night talk show with God, who is explaining the Ten Commandments and waxing philosophical on Thomas Jefferson, J.R. Ewing, Kanye West, etc. Assisting with audience questions and a PowerPoint presentation are angels Gabriel and Michael.

Featuring a lively cast of characters thrust into comedic situations, Christopher Durang's "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" is a lighthearted exploration of familial bonds and hometown roots.

Hilarity runs wild in this 2013 Tony® Award winner for Best Play as movie star Masha supports her middle-aged, single siblings whose academician parents were Chekov enthusiasts.
