Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park was founded in 1959 by college student Gerald Covell and was one of the first regional theaters in the United States. Located in Eden Park, the first play that premiered at the Playhouse on October 10, 1960, was Meyer Levin's 'Compulsion'. The Playhouse has maintained a regional and national reputation in the theater community for bringing prominent plays to Cincinnati, as well as hosting national premieres such as Tennessee Williams' 'The Notebook of Trigorin' in 1996 and world premieres such as the Pulitzer Prize-nominated 'Coyote on a Fence' in 1998 and 'Ace' in 2006.
The Playhouse facility includes two theaters: the larger Robert S. Marx Theater and the smaller Thompson Theater. In addition to a full ten-month season of plays, the Playhouse also offers acting classes and programs for children.
