    John E. Hancock talks about his book, Traveler's Guide to Ancient Ohio: Featuring the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks . This compact, richly illustrated travel guide takes visitors to the many Indigenous earthwork wonders of southern Ohio, including the brilliant landscape monuments recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The author recounts the 30-year story of how this project came aboutโ€”the vision for a curated, regional approach to Ohioโ€™s brilliant American Indian earthworksโ€”and describes how this book showcases southern Ohioโ€™s rich and surprising layers of cultural heritage for both armchair and on-site travelers. A Q&A session and a book signing take place after the lecture. Copies of his book are available for purchase during the event. About the Author: John E. Hancock (M. Arch. McGill University) taught architectural history and design at the University of Cincinnati for four decades. His expertise in environmental meaning and experience has informed his leadership of both actual and virtual cultural heritage tours in Ohio and across Europe. Working with interdisciplinary teams and Native advisors since the 1990s, he has created many public education media projects about Ohioโ€™s Indigenous earthworks, including The Ancient Ohio Trail website (2014). Most recently, John served as the principal author and photographer for the successful Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks UNESCO World Heritage nomination (2023), in collaboration with the Ohio History Connection and National Park Service. He has now re-edited and expanded that work for release from Smithsonian Books (2026).

    Music

    Some nights, you donโ€™t want a concert. You want a time machine. That Arena Rock Show is the ultimate high-energy theatrical tribute to the era when rock was king, the hair was tall, and every guitar solo was a full body experience. This isnโ€™t a cover band tucked in the corner of a bar. This is the full arena spectacle scaled to a historic stage, with the costumes, the swagger, and the note-for-note precision that has earned them a โ€œ100% recommendโ€ reputation venue after venue. For one night, The Midland becomes the arena you always wished youโ€™d been at. Youโ€™ll hear the anthems that ruled the airwaves from Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Guns Nโ€™ Roses, Mรถtley Crรผe, and the rest of the classic rock hall of fame. Youโ€™ll sing every word. Youโ€™ll air-guitar without shame. You may even hold up a lighter, or the modern equivalent, and no one will judge you. Bring the crew that still knows every lyric. Bring the kids who need to understand what a real guitar solo sounds like. Bring anyone who has ever cranked โ€œLivinโ€™ on a Prayerโ€ in the car and hit the high note anyway. This one belongs to all of them.

  • ๐ŸŽจ The Rocky Horror Picture Show

    Time TBD · The Midland Theatre

    Arts
    View original ↗

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show is not a film you watch quietly. It never was. When it opened in theaters, it flopped. Then a midnight screening at a small New York theater changed everything. Audiences started shouting lines back at the screen. They started showing up in costume. Within a few years, fans across the country were forming their own troupes to act the film out live, right in front of the movie itself, a tradition still alive at screenings today. Five decades later, it holds the record as the longest-running theatrical release in film history. It is still playing in theaters around the world, still packing midnight crowds, still turning strangers into a room full of old friends by the time the credits roll. That tradition comes to OUR stage for one night. Admission includes a Fan Prop Pack built scene-by-scene for this film, with a printed guide so first-timers know exactly when to toss, ring, snap, and sing along. Come dressed as your favorite character, or don't dress up at all. Either way, you'll be part of the show, not just watching it. First time at Rocky Horror? You'll be welcomed as a "virgin," a badge every longtime fan wore once too. There is a seat waiting for you, and a whole room ready to make some noise. This is a night built for people who want more than a movie. It is built for people who want a story they'll still be telling next Halloween. Heads Up: This One's Rated R The Rocky Horror Picture Show carries an R rating for mature themes, sexual content, and adult humor. Standard R-rated guidance applies: guests under 17 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is also a rowdy, costume-heavy, audience-participation crowd, so plan accordingly.
