Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Presents: Gaslight
Last night we had the opportunity to visit one of our favorite theaters in town – The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s Otto M.Budig Theater – to see their newest show, Gaslight. This play took me back to my childhood because our family loved watching old thrillers from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. The Cincy Shakes performance of Gaslight was...
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)
I do not consider it the holiday season until we have been to see Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!). It is one of my most favorite holiday season experiences. This show is HILARIOUS and squeezes all of the holiday madness and magic into one performance with just four actors. ...
The Frog Princess at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
We were in the audience for the opening night of The Frog Princess at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati and it was a wonderful way to kick off our holiday season. The Ensemble Theatre puts on a family friendly musical each holiday season. And when I say that it is “family friendly” that does NOT mean that...
Broadway in Cincinnati Presents Fiddler on the Roof
Broadway in Cincinnati has brought Fiddler on the Roof to the Aronoff Center for the Arts this month and you are not going to want to miss this Broadway classic! I went to the show not knowing much about it because it is one of the Broadway shows I’m just not familiar with. Turns out...
Broadway in Cincinnati Presents RENT
Broadway in Cincinnati has brought a classic from the nineties back to the stage at the Aronoff. Rent is in town for the holidays and you will want to grab those tickets now for this 20th anniversary tour. We saw the show on opening night and it was like a blast from the past. The...
Cincy Shakes Presents Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer premiered this weekend at Cincy Shakes and will run through December 9th. The show was downright delightful and would make an excellent holiday outing for families or even as a date night. Tom and Huck’s antics and Becky Thatcher’s sass had me and Sam in stitches. And the intense scary scenes had us...
Cincy Shakes Presents: Dracula
October is the only month of the year that I try to be brave and watch scary stuff. So it makes sense that I went to see Dracula at Cincy Shakes on Friday the 13th. The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company outdid themselves with this phenomenal production. I was not expecting how dark and gruesome this production...
Cyrano de Bergerac presented by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
This past weekend a new play opened up in town, and you will want to check it out before it’s run ends. Cyrano de Bergerac presented by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is an excellent show, and not just for adults. I took my ten year old son with me because we are trying to expose...
I Love Lucy® Live on Stage at the Aronoff Center
Confession: I grew up with a love for old movies and tv shows. I LOVED the classics. On the weekends we’d go to our local video store and get some old classic movies and shows on VHS…yes, that long ago. I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy…it’s hilarious! I’ve failed as a...
Dirty Dancing at the Aronoff
For a very limited time you can see Dirty Dancing at the Aronoff Center for the Arts thanks to Broadway in Cincinnati. If you go to this show you will have the time of your life! Sorry, I had to say it! But it’s true, if you are a Dirty Dancing fan I think you...
Gatsby Comes to Cincinnati
This weekend Michael and I were invited to attend the opening performance of The Great Gatsby at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company in Cincinnati. Now, neither one of us are professional theatre reviewers, but we thought this performance of the Great Gatsby was outstanding. We always enjoy shows in this intimate theater, and because we’ve been...

Updated November 2024: Thanks to ArtsWave we were invited to take a tour of the iconic Emery Theatre. The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati is giving the historic theatre a major overhaul while staying true to the history of the building and their work is impressive. Once the renovation is complete this theater is going to...
