In Memoriam of Nita Ann Clarisey

-via Cincinnati Music Theatre

Cincinnati Music Theatre mourns the passing of longtime member, Nita Clarisey.

Nita was involved with 16 Cincinnati Music Theatre productions. Nita’s first CMT Production was playing Keyboard in the Orchestra of ‘Secret Garden’ in 1996. She spent 17 years with CMT, from playing in the pits of many orchestras to accompanying auditions and rehearsals as well. Her most recent CMT credits include ‘A Chorus Line’, ‘Titanic’, and many more. She even played the piano for CMT President Kathy Beiting and husband John’s wedding.

Nita retired as a Speech-Language Pathologist in 1993, when she then focused on her true passion: music. She became a sought-after accompianist for many theatre and choral groups.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nita’s family, friends, and community.

Thank you for the music, Nita.
