You might think that, given the launch to many organizations’ seasons, last week’s bountiful lineup would be hard to top. You would be so, so wrong. Outdoor events are particularly in the spotlight. So much to see: We’d best jump right in.
Theater (or is it theaTRE?) wins the week with season openers from Know to Playhouse to Cincinnati’s brilliant community theaters. Sing along with some Broadway showstoppers or settle in for the Bach B Minor. Great jazz, Lili Boulanger, a little poetry and a couple of good films round out your week.
Movers & Makers reached out this month to performing arts organizations to showcase unsung staff members working offstage, in the office or front of house, as part of M&M’s continuing effort to recognize individuals making a difference in Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit ecosystem.
School has already started, and the nights are chilly, but don’t be deceived by the pumpkin-flavored menus. It’s not fall yet. There’s plenty to do during these last breaths of summer: a live Bard broadcast, creepy movies, orchestral Zappa and a jazz world premiere for starters. See what you can fit in. It’s all good.
The new 19,000-square-foot community arts and education center, including a new studio theater, will be just south of its current The Otto M. Budig Theater in Over-the-Rhine.
It’s not something one expects to say in mid-August, but we hope your homes are dry and the trees near you are still standing. Assuming you’re safe and sound, there’s plenty to get out and enjoy: hot jazz, sinfully good orchestral fare and “new” Gershwin, to name a few.
The Flow pass, now in its second season, connects audiences with productions and exhibitions presented by local arts organizations. This year that includes the Cincinnati Arts Association, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Taft Museum of Art and Cincinnati Opera.
Hello, FIXees! For this week’s arts and culture rundown, we have – among other highlights – concerts blending classical and jazz, a paddling world-record attempt and a gala of goetta gustation. Not to mention “SenseandSensibilityPrideandPrejudiceMansfieldParkEmmaNorthangerAbbeyPersuasion.” Read on …
If you’re not acclimated to the heat yet, the weather gurus say weekend rain may temper things. Well, OK … if it actually happens. If not, there’s at least as much to do inside as outside this week. So no excuses for not enjoying some mid-July culture.
The funding will support 46 arts organizations across Greater Cincinnati, helping pay for performances, exhibitions, arts education and other community programming.
