Dear Patron,

It is with a continued heavy heart that we must notify you that all remaining productions in the 2019-2020 Season have now been cancelled, including THE BOOK OF WILL.  We previously announced the cancellations of “Pride and Prejudice” and “Hamlet”.  This is in response to the Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine’s order that all mass gatherings be cancelled.  This week it has been further stated by government officials that even groups as small as 10 should avoid being in the same space.  This became immediately problematic for a collaborative art form such as ours in theatre to continue with rehearsals and production builds so we have made the decision to cancel the remaining performances this season.

We have also heard from many of our patrons, asking the question “How can I help?”

As soon as we have more information, we will reach out to everyone with next steps. Thank you for your support and patience during this extraordinary time.

It is with a heavy heart, that we announce the remaining performances of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and the upcoming performances of HAMLET have now been cancelled in response to the order released by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine limiting public gatherings and the public health crisis.

We are a community of artists, collaborating on projects onstage and off. As a supporter of Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, you are such an important part of our family. As you can imagine, we are devastated to close our doors for the time being. We know that for so many, attending a performance is a chance to escape and the power of live theatre creates a common bond desperately needed in these uncertain times. While nothing can replace these in-person connections, we hope that you take comfort in the fact that we are working tirelessly to create new ways to connect with you as we all move forward together.

More than ever before, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company needs your support. Please consider making a donation to protect our ability to create powerful and engaging theatre long after this period of uncertainty. While our performances, workshops, classes, and events cannot go on, the lives and livelihoods of those who make the art you love must. Your philanthropic support ensures that when this crisis ends – and it will – Cincinnati Shakespeare Company will still be right here waiting for you with open arms, ready to hold up a mirror to reflect all the best parts of our shared humanity.

Cincinnati Shakespeare Company appreciates your continued support and understanding as we make decisions in the best interest of our community. We look forward to seeing you back at the Otto soon. Please be well and thank you for sharing in our mission to bring Shakespeare and the Classics to life for all.
