Humorist Nick Offerman became a star when his role in the TV sitcom Parks and Recreation catapulted him into the comedic canon. Offerman brought some real personality to the character of Ron Swanson, the ultra manly head of a city's parks and recreation department. For tonight's performance at the State Theatre, Offerman — a woodworker in real life — will present a night 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." The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $39.50 to $59.50. (Niesel)
