Short North Stage Presents: The Irish Curse

The Short North Stage's current production is a hilariously frank but human comedy about five men and the rare conversations between them about how The Irish Curse of size - or rather lack of it - has ruled their lives. The play, which runs through April 1, revolves around a weekly therapy group for men afflicted with this alleged Irish shortcoming. When a twenty-something newcomer arrives, he challenges them to examine questions of identity, masculinity, sex, relationships and social status that the "curse" has thrown at them.

Performances: Friday & Saturday, March 23 & 24, 8 p.m; Sunday, March 25, 3pm;  Friday, March 30, 8 p.m; Saturday, March 31, 2pm & 8pm; Sunday, April 1, 3pm
All performances will be staged at the Garden Theater’s Green Room, 1187 N. High St. Tickets - $22.  Adult language and subject matter.  Call 866-967-8167 or visit www.shortnorthstage.org.

Harrison West Utilities Construction Meeting

The City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities will host a public meeting Tuesday, April 3, 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Harrison Park Condos Community Center, to let you know about upcoming construction in the Harrison West area. The construction, to begin later this summer, will separate storm water and sewer drainage as part of the City’s Wet Weather Management Plan. The result will be cleaner rivers and safer drinking water.

Construction will affect 1st and 2nd Avenues from Oregon Avenue to Perry Street and Harrison Park. Access to local properties and garages will be maintained at all times. If you are unable to attend the public meeting and have questions, please contact City of Columbus Project Manager Jeremy Cawley, P.E., at 645-6795 or JKCawley@columbus.gov.
