Housed inside an old theater, The Kent Stage brings nationally-renowned music acts to this university town with surprising frequency. Most of the bigger names are folk or indie types, but the occasional comedian lands here from time to time as well. The Kent Stage is also the scene of a few local school/community theater group productions. A calendar on the website is the most current source of news and scheduling information for the venue. Tickets can be purchased at the stage and from several other downtown shops such as SpinMore Records next door and Woodsy's on Water Street. The Kent Stage serves beer and a limited food menu.
