Here's whats coming TO MADLAB...
Ticket Links Are Beneath Each Production Listing, or through the ticket button in the menu above
MadLab Theatre will be going dark for the month of January—not because we lack stories to tell or productions to share, but because we’re embarking on an exciting new chapter in our journey. We are thrilled to announce the start of our quarter-of-a-million-dollar renovations to transform the theater and elevate your experience, thanks to generous capital improvement funding from the Greater Columbus Arts Council. (And yes, a partial match from us. So please consider making a donation if you would like to assist our evolution! You'll find a Donate button at the top of this page.)
The first phase of this ambitious project focuses on our black box theatre space, where so many incredible productions have come to life. These updates will modernize the space, enhance comfort, and ensure we can continue to push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling.
Our goal is to bring you one of the best theater experiences in Central Ohio. We’re investing in the future of MadLab, so when the improvements are completed over the next months you’ll find a space that matches the quality of the work we create and the passion we have for serving our community. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to share the new and improved MadLab with you soon!

AUDITIONS FOR AI vs US - Saturday, January 11, 2025, at MadLab
For AI v. Us we need versatile actors who can play a variety of characters. All actors in AI v Us will have at least 2 roles - one in both plays. Therefore, for the audition, there will be no reading from the script.
Instead, actors need to prepare a 30 second to 1 minute monologue. Although memorized is best, it may be read as long as you're VERY familiar with it. After performing your monologue, you'll be asked to perform it again differently as several different characters - maybe a pirate, or a knight, or a neurotic first bad date, or something else. So, you need to know your piece, be flexible, and able to take direction.
Roles are paid a stipend and non-union.
Interested actors may fill out the audition form online here: https://forms.gle/se9shUQ2n64x8u6J9 or in person on January 11.
Please contact MadLab Artistic Director, James Blackmon at JamesB@MadLab.net if you have questions or for additional information.

Formed in 1993, FFN is Columbus's longest-running improv comedy troupe. The long-form group takes audience suggestions (anything from simple variables to real-life stories) and uses them to create original and (hopefully) hilarious plays, all made up on the spot. No two shows are alike!
In Date Night, FFN will tell you a story of love…YOUR story of love! Based on your best and worst true-life romantic stories, the troupe will act out your tales from their point of view. New characters! New circumstances! Maybe an alien or two! Who knows? You'll have to come to the show to find out!
