City’s Newest Performing Arts Venue on Schedule to Open June 3
Tickets to single shows in the premiere Summer Classics Season at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater go on sale this Monday, April 20.
Last August, Cincinnati Landmark Productions announced the grand opening date and the debut season at the region’s newest performing arts venue. The 2015 Summer Classics Season, presented by TriHealth, includes:
- THE PRODUCERS, June 3-21
- 1776, July 8-26
- 9 TO 5, August 12-30
Tickets to individual shows – $26 for adults, $23 for seniors and students – will be available at the Covedale Center Box Office on Monday beginning at 11 a.m. Patrons are encouraged to call (513) 241-6550 or visit in person at 4990 Glenway Avenue.
Until Monday, only whole season subscriptions – $63 each – have been available to purchase. And the response was overwhelmingly positive. Over 71 percent of available seats have been purchased through subscriptions.
“We received amazing response from subscribers who have been with us since our early days on the Showboat Majestic as well as subscribers from our Covedale Center venue who wanted classic theatrical entertainment during the summer,” said Tim Perrino, executive artistic director of Cincinnati Landmark Productions. “These three great titles combined with audience curiosity about the new venue and the blossoming entertainment district in East Price Hill made the Summer Classics Season an instant hit. We’re excited to sell the remaining ticket inventory we have.”
The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater will be a brand new, purpose-built, 229-seat performing arts center and parking garage in the Incline District in East Price Hill. Located at the corner of Matson Place and West 8th Street, the $6 million project broke ground in September and is on schedule (and on budget!) to open to the public on June 3, 2015.
The Box Office at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater is expected to be operational by June 1, and will be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Patrons can purchase tickets to the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater or the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts at either Box Office location.
The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater will be programmed year-round by Cincinnati Landmark Productions, culminating in over 120 show nights. In addition to the Summer Classics Season, which will expand to four productions in future years, the venue will host a four-show “District Series” season (October to April) designed to complement the “Marquee Series” at the Covedale Center.
Cincinnati Landmark Productions has been serving the West Side for over 30 years – first through its Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre program and then through its ownership and management of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts in West Price Hill. Since opening in 2002, the arts center quadrupled its subscribership, from 800 to over 3000. Attendance ballooned from 13,990 in the 2002-03 season to over 37,000 (representing 336 zip codes) in the 2013-14 season.
Donor programs and sponsorships for the new venue are still available. For more information about the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater, visit www.warsawfederalinclinetheater.com or call (513) 241-6550.
