Caffeinated Conversations at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

An energized behind-the-scenes discussion of all things theatre! 

They say it takes a village…Get to know the village that makes Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati possible through our newest program, Caffeinated Conversations!

Join us on select Saturday mornings throughout our 2015-2016 season for a relaxed seminar on topics that range from how our talented designers create breathtaking scenery in a building originally built as a bank to our Producing Artistic Director’s play-selection process, as well as a tour of our scene shop. Enjoy a cup of joe and ask the questions you’ve long been yearning to ask our designers, stage managers, and technicians.

Cost:$15.00 for individual dates; $50.00 for the entire 5-part series. Hurry, space is limited!
