Thank you, ArtsWave, for your dedication to the arts
Dear ArtsWave,
From the nation’s oldest professional theatre for young audiences to the country’s oldest unified arts fund, thank you! Your contributions to our creative economy are in large part why Cincinnati was ranked #20 in the 40 most vibrant arts communities in the U.S.

Your support of The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati (TCT) specifically has assisted us in providing Broadway-quality TCT MainStage at the Taft performances for over a century, reaching over 100,000 families with children and students annually. Your assistance helps us reach an additional over 50,000 students per year through our TCT on Tour division, touring five to seven productions annually to schools, community centers, libraries, and public venues, and to impact 1,200 children through our TCT Academy performing arts instruction.

Your additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic has kept us afloat, ensuring our ability to educate, entertain, and engage audiences of all ages through professional theatrical productions and arts education programming for another 100+ years to come. As a result, we were able to shift gears quickly during the pandemic, providing limited capacity, socially distanced live performances, a mix of in-person and virtual instruction and innovative digital offerings such as our interactive Pick-A-Path productions during which children are asked questions and are able to make choices changing the course of the production along the way.
Thank you for your continued dedication to, not just TCT, but all arts organizations throughout our community, and for making Greater Cincinnati a better place in which to work, live, and play. And we will continue to do our part, creating family memories to last a lifetime.
All our best,
