There's something special about getting dressed up and going out to see a show. In Columbus' Theater District, there are four large theaters — Palace Theatre, Ohio Theatre, Southern Theatre and Lincoln Theatre — bringing you everything from ballet and opera to avant-garde plays. The Wexner Center for the Arts puts on frequent dance, theater and music performances that bring in artists from around the world, while the Brewery District's Shadowbox Live! has performances that range from comedic to artsy.
