Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Skip to main content Skip to searchSHOW UP!
An event series for young professionals to network and explore Over-the-Rhine while deepening their connection with the theatre and its mission.

By young professionals. For young professionals.
Show Up! creates an inclusive space for young professionals to network and explore Over-the-Rhine, supporting local businesses and ETC while educating themselves on various social issues.
As more YPs graduate, relocate, and transition to the professional world, we want to welcome newcomers and long-time Cincinnati residents to explore the Queen City’s vibrant arts, culture, and food scenes while providing a casually structured opportunity to meet new peers.
Show Up! includes monthly meetings for young professionals (ages 21-40) in the community to experience and discuss theatrical works whose topics align with Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s mission of producing socially conscious work and uplifting voices that should be heard. The goal is to provide a welcoming yet safe group to discuss themes and issues found in art and society.


How it works.
Show up to enjoy a performance at ETC then walk to a local restaurant to mingle, discuss the show, and enjoy small bites and a beverage, all included with the heavily discounted $15 YP ticket!
This season, we’ve partnered with two of our Vine Street neighbors: 1215 Wine Bar & Coffee Lab and Copper & Flame. Following each production, we’ll walk to one of these locations (each within a block of the theatre) and discuss the themes of the show over bites and a drink.
A Show Up! ticket is $15 and includes admission to an Ensemble Theatre production and post-show bites and a drink. To book your YP ticket, use the code “ETCYP” at checkout on the corresponding Show Up! date.
