Kodo One Earth Tour 2025: Warabe 3:58pm @ Emens Auditorium, Ball State University 1800 W Riverside Ave
Cost: $31 - $41 ; Youth $15 In Japanese, the word “Kodo” holds a double meaning. It can be translated as “heartbeat,” the primal source of all rhythm. However, this group’s name is written with different characters, which mean “drum” and “child.” This reflects Kodo’s desire to play the drums with the simple heart of a child. For their 40th anniversary, they created two works based on their name: “Tsuzumi” takes its name and theme from the drum character, and “Warabe” from the child element.
In “Warabe,” Kodo looks to its classic repertoire and aesthetics from the ensemble’s early days. This production blends simple forms of taiko expression that celebrate the unique sound, resonance, and physicality synonymous with Kodo—forever children of the drum at heart.

Fast-paced, chaotic and funny, POTUS is a clever ensemble comedy that takes a hard look at the politics of the patriarchy and critiques the roles of empathy, ambition, and the pursuit of power in a deeply divided America.
This play is FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.“POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
