​

Good morning, Marion County. The stage is set for an extraordinary musical season at the Marion Palace Theatre, where hometown heroes and national sensations are about to deliver unforgettable performances. Mark your calendars for September 2025 when local powerhouses John W. Garnes II, Ben Zucker, and Ryan Cluff bring their "World Tour" home, followed by the Emmy Award-winning Texas Tenors who'll blend country, classical, and pop into a harmonious spectacle just a week earlier.

While Marion prepares for these musical milestones, comedy enthusiasts might want to make the short drive to Columbus this weekend. Stand-up comedian Kristin Key returns to the Funny Bone with her "Camp Kristin" tour, bringing her signature blend of humor and music that has staff consistently commenting on her remarkably positive and engaged audiences. Her performances focus on joy and connection—something we could all use a little more of these days.
