Governor Mike DeWine announced today that Ohio has banned gatherings of 100 or more to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Our first priority, of course, is to adhere to the measures outlined by our public officials and ensure the safety of our patrons, artists, staff and the general public. Unfortunately, this means all upcoming performances of DESTINY OF DESIRE have been cancelled. While it breaks our heart to shorten the run of this joyous production, community health and well-being is of the utmost importance in this extraordinary time. Please check back for information on other cancellations and updates.
The following options are available for those who have already purchased tickets to cancelled performances. Transferring your ticket to a donation supports Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park during these uncertain times and we appreciate your consideration.
Please call the Box Office at 513-421-3888. We recommend that you avoid wait times on the phone and call next week. Or, send your contact information to our Patron Services office by completing this online form, and someone will contact you within 10 days.
We will be open regular hours through the weekend:
Thursday, March 12: Until 9 p.m.
Friday, March 13: 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Saturday, March 14: 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Sunday, March 15: 12 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Thank you in advance for your continued patience and support.

Dear valued patron,
Although there have been no documented cases of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus within our campus community, the University of Cincinnati is making needed preparations to be able to quickly respond if COVID-19 is detected.
Based on the latest updates from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and following the University of Cincinnati’s updated public health practices, all CCM public performances scheduled now (March 12, 2020) through May 31, 2020, have been canceled or rescheduled.*
Student recitals that are degree requirements may still occur during this time frame, provided that social distancing is observed and respected; these student recitals will not be open to the general public.
Any ticket purchaser affected by a paid performance cancellation can contact the CCM Box Office at 513-556-4183 to request a refund.
This is an extremely fluid situation and guidelines are subject to change. Additional updates regarding CCM performances will be published at ccm.uc.edu and ccmonstage.universitytickets.com as they become available. General information updates and resources can be accessed at uc.edu/publichealth.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. The health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, patrons and communities remain our highest priority. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the CCM Box Office at 513-556-4183 if you have any additional questions or concerns. Please note that CCM’s Box Office will be closed due to UC’s Spring Break from March 15-22, 2020. We are grateful for your ongoing support and look forward to seeing you at a CCM performance in the near future.
* Due to the limited scale of the March 12-13 installments of TRANSMIGRATION and the March 12 Brass Choir Showcase, those events will proceed as scheduled at this time.

Due to the coronavirus, IC will be postponing all classes and shows until, at least, after Easter. Those who can’t delay due to scheduling conflicts will be offered a refund or class credit. Anyone who has purchased workshop registrations or show tickets will be refunded. It is our hope and intention that classes will resume on the same days and times starting on Thursday, April 16.
Why did we join the ranks of the NBA, MLS, local universities, etc? Well, we’re already experiencing students dropping classes. Show pre-sales will almost assuredly be reduced. Not to mention our class location at St. John’s Unitarian has notified us they are shutting down due to the pandemic concerns. We also checked in with our teachers, company members, and advisors, and just about everyone agrees: the safest thing we can do to mitigate the virus’ spread is social distancing.
This decision was difficult – not only because of the financial challenge to our small business, but also because the result will separate us from the community and art form we know and love.
On the bright side, we may use this as an opportunity to venture into the world of audio improv. We’re presently investigating the feasibility of holding online, audio-only classes to work on The Bat (an improv Harold in the dark) and character vocal work, and maybe some sketch or improv classes via video chat. More info on this soon. In the meantime, don’t forget performer Eric Holmes’ new audio-only improv platform called, Ooze Bear, which we plan on using during this unexpected break.
Lastly, we confess, we were both coronavirus skeptics – until certain resources turned us around. If you’re a skeptic too, consider reading and listening to the following resources:
Listen to this interview with an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology.
Read this article for the reasoning behind immediately implementing social distancing policies.
Stay healthy, everyone. We can’t wait to see you again soon.

To our valued patrons,
Due to this afternoon’s declaration from Governor DeWine restricting mass gatherings to below 100, The Human Race Theatre Company will be closing its production of GLORIA: A LIFE effective immediately. This would have been our final weekend of a show that has generated wonderful feedback, and while we are disappointed, we understand the health and social ramifications. As always, we want to do what is best and right for our audiences.
Ticket holders for both shows have several options. You may exchange your ticket for a future production in this season or receive a credit for your ticket price to use later. Or, you may choose to donate your purchase as a contribution to The Human Race Theatre Company. All non-profits will be feeling the impact of these directives and your contribution would be greatly appreciated.
We will also be postponing our special presentation of Jen Joplin’s THE MILF ALSO RISES which was scheduled for next week to May 3rd and 4th. If you have tickets, please contact the box office to exchange into those dates.
The Dayton Live box office can be reached at 937.228.3630.
We wish you health and well-being and hope to see you at The Human Race Theatre again soon!
Best,
Kappy Kilburn Kevin Moore
Executive Director Artistic Director
