Presented by trueTHEATRE
Jan. 7
Over-the-Rhine

Whether you call it “Porkopolis” or “the ‘Nati,” it’s our favorite city and our home. Help us pay homage to it on January 7, when you will hear from a man who grew up in the kitchen of LaRosa’s and now serves as it’s CEO, a daring fellow who has lived on BOTH the east and west sides of town and has lived to tell the tale, and an employee of the Public Library who faced a challenge much bigger than she bargained for (but, thanks to it, we have the beautiful image you see on our poster!). Plus, a college student gives a guided tour of a side of Cincinnati most of us never see. All this and a story from Channel 12 personality and dancing machine Bob Herzog! Join us on January 7 and raise a glass to the Queen City with us! Note: Most shows sell out in advance.
