SHOW 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.
