Ohio theatre is a great institution of professional theatre in Columbus!! We see shows here from time to time... Always a pleasure, so many great memories.

Beautiful ornate theater. The mezzanine concessions has been relocated to be two separate locations, one by each house entrance. They are now built into the wall so less traffic obstruction for busy shows.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are there any good places to eat within walking distance from the Ohio Theatre?

Sierrah Jones | Sep 20, 2018
Ben Trevor | Sep 20, 2018

There are some. Be sure to check the hours before you go --it's downtown, so some restaurants in the area are only open for weekdays, or only for breakfast/lunch. If you're willing to walk about 10 minutes, Dirty Frank's on 4th St is great.

Shouldn't be a problem for you. They have handicap seating. The staff are helpful. I'm sure they can help accommodate your seating arrangement. No elevator so ground floor seating. Break the bank seats..

Hello, what is your ticket return policy, in case if some one has a Covid positive testing ?

Alex Fishen | Feb 21, 2022
Kimberly Race | Mar 23, 2022

You have to have purchased the ticket insurance if you cancel because you test positive. If the show is cancelled because of someone in the show or theater tests positive then you will get a credit or refund, depending on the show and if they can reschedule.

I want to take a high school seniors photos here, could I take them after a purchased show?

Lizzie Childers | Sep 19, 2020
Paul Byrum | Sep 19, 2020

Theoretically. They usually force you out of the theatre section and into the common areas fairly quickly after the show ends. If you get into the show as soon as the doors open you would have more time. For the best financial option I would choose a night that they are screening a film. I think they are showing Hocus Pocus sometime near Halloween.

If you buy tickets at the box office is there still a service fee?

Lorrie Gardner | Sep 19, 2020
Paul Organ | Sep 19, 2020

Nope! I just did this for Dear Evan Hansen. The crazy (like $30) service/convenience fee they charge for online tickets is waived if you visit the box office in person.
