Ohio Northern University presents “PostSecret Live,” an interactive multimedia event hosted by Frank Warren, at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m.

In 2004, PostSecret creator Warren introduced the world to a collection of highly personal and artfully decorated postcards mailed anonymously from around the world, exposing the soulful secrets we never voice. What started as a community mail art project quickly exploded in popularity; since PostSecret’s inception, Warren has received more than 1 million anonymous secrets on homemade postcards.

The primary purpose of the ONU Gospel Ensemble is to spread the word of God through song, and its mission is “Winning souls to Christ with a melody.” The Ensemble was formed in 1987 by a group of African-American students who wanted to share their heritage through gospel music.
