MEDFORD, MA – Actor Nick Offerman, known for his role as Ron Swanson on the hit series "Parks and Recreation," will perform in Medford this fall. The award-winning actor, writer, woodworker and comedian is hitting the road for the first time since 2017 with a new live show, "All Rise."

The show is described as "an evening of deliberative talking and light dance that will compel you to chuckle whilst enjoining you to brandish a better side of humanity than the one to which we have grown accustomed."

"My aim in this undertaking is to encourage my fellow Homo Sapiens to aim higher in life than the channels of consumerism would have us imagine," Offerman said.
