[Join the Facebook event here.]

(Cincinnati, OH) Cincinnati-based Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati is one of 250 finalists in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program, which will award vehicles to 100 nonprofit organizations based on votes from the public beginning this week.

Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program will showcase five nonprofit organizations each day for 50 days at http://www.Facebook.com/Toyota. Visitors to the page will receive two votes each day to select two separate winning organizations they feel are most deserving of new Toyota vehicles. ENSEMBLE THEATRE CINCINNATI will be one of the five organizations highlighted for voting on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2013.

Local residents are encouraged to support Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati in the quest for a new Toyota Tundra. If Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati receives the most votes and is awarded the vehicle, the car will be used to focus resources on furthering the organization’s commitment to provide arts opportunities to low-income schools and award-winning theatre to the local community.

Not only will a vehicle reduce organizational shipping costs for production materials, but it will also be used to transport educational materials, specifically for Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s Prelude Program. ETC’s educational programs focus on introducing economically disadvantaged students, who typically have little or no arts programming in their schools, to the arts. Prelude helps students write, design, and perform their own plays while fostering the development of collaborative and critical-thinking skills.

Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati is supported, in part, by the generosity of community contributions to the ArtsWave Campaign. 

The Ohio Arts Council helps fund Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati also receives funding from the Shubert Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. 

2013-2014 Season Presenting Sponsor is the Otto M. Budig Family Foundation. Additional support provided by Garfield Suites Hotel, The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the Shubert Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts.
