  Looks fairly good to me except for the use of "to" with diversity.
  
  I think it would read better as, "There was no shortage of diversity in the material presented on stage last night."
  
  Just my personal preference.

      Okay. So how does the sentence need to change in order to preserve the phrase "diversity of material?"
