Comedy Night for WebsiteMockUp

Presented by Kokosing Valley Rotary and Rotary Club of Mount Vernon

November 13, 2026
7:00 PM

Award-winning comedian and actress, Kathie Dice finds humor in the rational – and irrational parts of every day life. An actress whose range includes TV commercials and films, including “American Splendor,” "Night Owls of Coventry", and the soon to be released "Freerunner". Dice pokes fun at the world around her. As a stand-up comedian, she can induce the kind of deep, penetrating laughter that erases years of stress and toxic buildup! She's a regular at comedy clubs throughout the Midwest. The voice of reason for the over 60 generation!

Join Kokosing Valley Rotary and The Rotary Club of Mount Vernon as we welcome Kathie to the stage of The Woodward Opera House! A portion of all ticket sales will go directly to AMVETS. What a fun way to honor our Veterans by helping in a cause that goes directly to rebuilding Lodge 95 in Mount Vernon Ohio. Tickets are available online as well as at the door the night of the show.
See you there!

What is a Living History presentation? 

It’s simple. An actor brings an historical character back to life. 

How do they do it? The actor does in-depth research into the character they have selected and create a presentation around the information that they have learned. The actors do not use a script that has been produced by someone else, but have created their own original dialogue. We at MadCap Living History do our best to represent the character as realistically as they were in life. We delve deeply into their life, and focus on various aspects that we find interest, and believe will find entertaining. We do our best to be accurate and respectful of all of our characters, even the ones that weren’t so respectable.
