Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Review

their new space is excellent and the theatre design really puts you in the action. It's almost as intimate as theatre in the round-- but more flexible.

Love, love, love this venue, the actors, the plays. Going to be a subscriber.

Beautiful place, outstanding actors, and captivating story. I will definitely attend again in my future...you should too. Thank you my friend for taking me DKM.

I was shocked at the quality of the show I saw here. The space is awesome, they use it very well, and the cast was top notch. This was a competitive experience with any wow I've seen in New York or London.

A Flea in Her Ear was great! Funniest Play I've seen.

One of Cincinnati's best kept secrets. Everyone I've introduced to this has become a life long fan. I can't wait for their new space to open.

Wonderful small theatre. I love the intimate setting. I have enjoyed every play that I have attended.

Great venue, strong acting, excellent audience experience

Amazing actors!! Always good theater at Cincinnati Shakespeare Theater Company. Consistently good for many years!!

I have been to several Cincinnati Shakespearean plays and they are always fantastic!

Fantastic place to enjoy a show. I went recently and the costumes were just fantastic. Acting... Great. I would definitely recommend for amazing entertainment.

Absolutely love this place...No bad seats.. easy in and out and what great productions. Current production "august : Osage County" is SOOO good. Ive seen nearly 300 plays in my lifetime from Community theatre to Broadway and this is my favorite production EVER. I laughed, I shuttered, I cried... and left emotionally drained. Outstanding!!!

Oh wow! Another amazing theater experience. The acting was superb! Kudos to Maggie and Jim (and all the other actors)!

I'm a big Shakespeare and theater snob. So believe me when I say that the work that the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company does is top notch storytelling. The productions are accessible. Go see live theater!

Every show and event I have been to at CSC has been absolutely wonderful. Love the new location! I've been to multiple shows and a class here. I will definitely continue coming back!

Bravo. I can't wait for the next season in the new theater.

The seats are actually COMFORTABLE and have PLENTY OF LEGROOM. As a plus-sized woman most theater seating is horribly tight and the legroom situation laughable, leaving me feeling uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Not here. All close up, intimate seating and no difficulty seeing the stage. Noises Off! Was a hilarious and excellently executed play, the ticket, valet, and bar staff were wonderful, and I look forward to coming here again.

Absolutely loved the space and performance. 1984 left me speechless

A Cincinnati gem. Both Shakespeare classics and other plays each season. Incredible new theatre.

This theatre is our favorite live show in the city. The cast is awesome and pit on a great show everytime.

Small intimate theatre. Not a bad seat. The play was very well done.

My wife and I just went for the first time and loved it. We've been to other big Shakespeare productions, namely Stratford, CA where they put on some of the best we've ever seen. However, this smaller more intimate setting did a wonderful job. We saw "Of Mice and Men" and it was great. It was separated into two acts (80 min, 50 min). They had concessions available that you could even bring in during the show. The seats were close and comfortable. It is in a safe section of the city and there are places to eat nearby. We will be going back.

We saw the Complete Plays of William Shakespeare, abrdiged. It was fantastic! The facilities are top notch and the actors we're wonderful. Nice work!

Attended closing night of "Noises Off". The ensemble at CinShake took the play to new heights of comedy. I left the theater with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.

Loved loved loved! Went to see Macbeth and it was absolutely breathtaking! Great actors and wonderful atmosphere

I really enjoyed it .When you want to see live acting.

The exterior is a bit bland, but it's an intimate, beautiful space on the inside. Every performance has been excellent! A truly unique experience

This company keeps getting better and better. The new theater is a wonderful venue. The thrust stage puts the actors very near the audience, so there's no bad seat in the house.

A terrific place to spend an evening. Bold, innovative productions, including rich interpretation of classics. Come see Shakespeare produced at it's best!

What a difference a decade makes! Not only is Our Shakespeare Company one of the best in the world, nationally award winning and and beloved by the city, but now it has an amazing theatre in which to perform. Imagine you were a stage active, producer and director and had the opportunity to build a theatre your way... The way it should... Well, the Otto M. Buddig theatre IS that theatre. Another jewel in the crown for The Queen City.

First time at this theater but won't be the last! Not a bad seat in the house. Saw Macbeth with my Shakespeare nerdy teen and was not disappointed! Definitely going to check out some upcoming shows as well. Something for everyone. Go!

Amazing company, exciting show, and a beautiful new theatre! We have been subscribers for over 15 years and are always astounded.

Fabulous production! Great theater, every seat feels like the best seat. Lots of leg room

The new venue is wonderful. The play was great Midsummer night's dream. The valet attended was beyond worst. The attended couldn't start my Jeep so he took me to the lot and point to the Jeep and gave me the keys. The battery was dead because they left the lights on. I called the box office to ask for help and complain. I was told someone would come. No one show up. I called again was told no one had cables. I called the valet company, they said someone would come. No one did. I finally called AAA. I would have given them a 5 but not with the service I received.

New and super cool theatre. It's a small venue and regardless of seat the stage is right in front of you. I have seen multiple plays and have loved each one. Highly recommend

One of my favorite Cincinnati theaters. No other theater in Cincinnati performs Shakespeare, and no one could do it like CSC! Fantastic talent and a small theater environment lends intimacy. Also, watch for free performances in local parks during the summer months!

Such a great new gem for the City. Great venue for events & plays. See & be seen.

Great new intimate theater in Cincinnati that compliments an "embarrassment of riches" regarding the theaters in this neighborhood. They do some great work at this theater, both Shakespearean and otherwise.

My first visit to this venue. The lobby had a contemporary feel with lots of wood. The bar has limited choices but enough to last through a performance. The theater is very intimate. Every seat has a great view. I saw Every Christmas Story Ever told. It was highly entertaining and kept us laughing through the evening.

Loved This Theater! First time here. Loved the size of the theater. The free lemon water, the cup holders at each seat. The amenities offered in the bathrooms. (Come check it out). Such an attractive setting. Will definitely be back.

CSC is one of the brightest spots in the Cincinnati arts scene! The new theatre is gorgeous and every production is top drawer.

Always love the shows, the bar staff and box office staff are superb

Hilarious play, the 3 actors worked amazingly well together. Every play I've seen by the CST has been great.

Amazing experience. Can't wait to go again. Phenomenal actors!

Just saw 1984 on opening night. It was an incredible theatrical production. The entire cast and crew should be proud!

I'm gonna miss the old theatre but I'm excited 4 the new one one!!

If you ever want to see live theater, the Cincinnati Shakespeare company is the perfect place to go. Their actors are amazing and some are even equity.

Great venue, great seats, great play! Going back soon!!!!

Nice local theatre performances in an intimate theatre with a 1 row balcony. No bad seats. Creative set designs.

Great new venue for the bard. Architected for an intimate experience between cast and audience.

The building is wonderful, the seating is comfortable and intimate. This is someplace you need to go to see a play at least once!

We enjoyed a good show in this beautiful new venue!

Great theater. This show 1984 fits well for Halloween this year

The seats are actually COMFORTABLE and have PLENTY OF LEGROOM. As a plus-sized woman most theater seating is horribly tight and the legroom situation laughable, leaving me feeling uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Not here. All close up, intimate seating and no difficulty seeing the stage. Noises Off!

One of my favorite parts of Cincinnati. Great venue, acting, and material. Love Ciny Shakes!

You can feel the true devotion of these talented players to the soul of the Bard.

Loved the intimate atmosphere....so up close and personal.

Amazing productions in a beautiful theater. The sets are outstanding, and I have never been seated anywhere in this venue where I did not feel like it was the best seat I have ever had here.

Had to leave right after intermission, but loved what we saw.

A fantastic theater experience! Really high quality performance, intimate, close setting, actors are well on their marks!

This is a great intimate theater. Thrust stage with absolutely no bad seats. A great mix of classical Shakespeare and other plays. Always a great fresh take on the classics.

This is a great company - actors really shine! It's an action place - actors are really fit, some must have dance background - they really put on a show, not just intellectual/ verbal.

Great performance. This best theater company in Cincinnati

This place is very nice. I attended a play with my husband and our seats were great. We sat on the lower level two rows from the back and the view was great. The theater was very intimate and I loved it. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for the memories! The last play at the old building was an inspired choice.
