Sullivant Hall at Ohio State Barnett Theatre tickets & upcoming events

Ever wandered into a venue that just feels like it’s got stories to tell? Sullivant Hall at Ohio State’s Barnett Theatre is exactly that kind of place. Opened back in 1925, this historic spot has seen everything from student-written plays that earned high praise to big-name performances that pack the house today. The theatre’s got some pretty cool features, like the orchestra mezzanine with a compass rose on the floor showing the building's orientation, yeah, it’s a little detail that sticks with you. The original seating was designed with more legroom, but of course, renovations over the years have tweaked that. Getting there? If you’re coming from the School of Social Work, just walk north to High Street then west to Sullivant Hall. Coming from the Residence on Tenth? Head east to High Street and then north. This theatre isn’t just about history, it’s about making new memories, whether you’re catching a lively concert, a dramatic play, or a comedy show. And if you’re into seating, the interactive chart shows all the hidden gems, from the front row’s thrill to VIP sections for the true enthusiasts. Honestly, it’s a place that’s as much about the vibe as the performances, and I’d say, definitely worth checking out for a night of entertainment that’s a little bit special.
