Get ready to be transported back to the 1920s. Come see the amazing show Ain't Misbehavin.

Although not quite a biography, Ain't Misbehavin' evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs that Fat’s Waller made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Performances run July 16th and 17th, 2021, 7:00 pm at District West, 145 North 5th St., Columbus, OH. Both performances are sold out but a few tickets will be available first come first serve at the door.
