🌳 The Most Magical Columbus Metro Park Isn't In Columbus At All

Sponsored by Short North StageA steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written. Wild Party runs through May 28 on the Garden Theatre MainStage. For more info, or to purchase your tickets, visit shortnorthstage.org. 🎭

Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

If you're looking for a fun adventure, I have the best suggestion. Our Metro Park system has some stunning properties around central Ohio, but none are as magical as Clear Creek Metro Park. Located in the Appalachian foothills, just before Hocking Hills, Clear Creek features a gorgeous creek, a variety of trails, and so much more. It's a short trip from Columbus and it makes for the perfect day trip. Get out there and explore, friends. It's a beautiful world.
