Andrea Gibson

Andrea Gibson, one of today's most powerful spoken word artists, is coming to Columbus with an extraordinary multimedia experience. This event combines a stunning film of Gibson's final live performance—recorded at Denver's Paramount Theatre in 2024—with live orchestral music, guest artists, and intimate storytelling. The Goosebumps Orchestra will perform an original score alongside the film, creating an immersive experience that brings Gibson's poetry to life in a completely new way. Gibson's work centers on identity, social justice, mental health, and the power of community, and their live performances are known for creating spaces where audiences feel deeply seen and heard. What makes this evening special is the presence of Megan Falley, Gibson's wife and fellow poet, who will weave the night together by sharing personal stories about their life and artistic partnership. Guest artists will perform throughout, each connected to Gibson's legacy in meaningful ways. This is truly part concert, part film screening, and part communal gathering—an opportunity to experience Gibson's transformative art alongside others. If your family appreciates spoken word, music, and emotionally resonant performances, this offers a chance to encounter one of the most influential voices of our generation.
