2016 ‘Summer Classics Season’ Announced for Warsaw Federal Incline Theater

Second Year Features More Great Titles and More Show Nights

WFIT_Sign at nightIn every measurable way, the first Summer Classics Season at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater was a rousing success – including 45 straight sell-outs to open the venue.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions announced today its follow-up Summer Classics Season at the region’s newest performing arts venue.

The 2016 Summer Classics Season, presented by TriHealth, includes:

  • ANYTHING GOES, June 1-26
  • BABY, July 6-31
  • CHICAGO, August 10 – September 4

Based on the strong demand to the inaugural season, the 2016 Summer Classics Season will expand each production run to four weeks (Wednesday to Sunday). This will accommodate the sizeable subscriber base and still allow for single-show ticket availability – something this summer had very little
of.

“”For local, professional-grade performers, this season will be the opportunity to do summer stock theater without having to leave town,” said Tim Perrino, executive artistic director of Cincinnati Landmark Productions. “For the audiences, it will mean more seats available, more great summer nights out with friends and more fun shows onstage in our cool new theater.”

The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater is a brand new, purpose-built, 229-seat performing arts center and parking garage in the Incline District in East Price Hill. Located at the corner of Matson Place and West 8th Street, the $6 million project opened on June 3, 2015.

Subscriptions for the 2016 Summer Classics Season – only $72 – are now on sale. Subscribers to the 2015 Summer Classics Season have their seats held for renewal until March 11, 2016. All seats not renewed by that time will be released. Tickets to individual shows go on sale on April 18, 2016.

The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater is programmed year-round by Cincinnati Landmark Productions,culminating in over 120 show nights. In addition to the Summer Classics Season, the venue will host the four-show District Series season (September to May) designed to complement the Marquee season at the Covedale Center.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions has been serving the West Side for over 30 years – first through its Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre program and then through its ownership and management of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts in West Price Hill. Since opening in 2002, the arts center quadrupled its subscribership. Attendance ballooned from 13,990 in the 2002-03 season to over 35,000 (representing over 300 zip codes) in the 2014-15 season.
