Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is a theater with two performance spaces located within Eden Park, presenting classical and contemporary productions for ten months each year. The stages accommodate different sizes and types of productions across the season.

The theater was founded in 1959 and opened in 1960 with a contemporary drama production, establishing itself as a regional venue. Over decades, it developed into a recognized cultural institution known for presenting new works.

The company has built a reputation for taking artistic risks in its choice of productions and staging approaches. Visitors experience both canonical works and lesser-known plays presented with fresh interpretations.

The venue is situated within a large urban park, offering pleasant access with walking paths and green spaces around it. The theater provides an extensive educational program including acting classes and special school performances throughout the year.

The theater has premiered several works that later gained national recognition, including a Tennessee Williams play in the 1990s. This track record shows its role as an experimental space for writers and artists.
