Experience Performing Arts at the Wex this spring with an Obie Award winner and New York Times critic’s pick, Ohio-grown artists, avant-garde jazz, and performances that weave together dance, music, poetry, and even ghost stories.

Six jazz musicians perform onstage, playing upright bass, drums, and the trumpet. Roscoe Mitchell is seated center stage, and Don Moye plays drums.
