This is a purchase your own ticket event. I have selected (Orchestra section) Row K, Seat 26. Feel free to select beside/near me or anywhere else in the theatre :) https://www.mirvish.com/shows/and-juliet \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. ***& Juliet*** asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way. Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including *Since U Been Gone‚ Roar, Baby One More Time, Larger Than Life‚ That’s The Way It Is*, and *Can't Stop the Feeling*—all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more #1 hits than any other artist this century. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it. **AUDIENCE ADVISORY** **Use of flashing/strobe lighting /loud noises/confetti cannons and pyrotechnics throughout.** **Recommended for ages 6+ with adult language.** **Running Time: 2 hours 30 mins (including intermission)** **DRESS CIRCLE and BALCONY - Stair access only.**

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our first meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.
