The green angled roof suggests a beautiful auditorium on the inside, and it is. Built in 1971 this 380 seat auditorium offers a more versatile space than the Corbett Theatre to CCM students and local performing groups. The stage is a thrust stage which means it juts out into the audience a bit. The seating is around the stage in a semi-circle. On each side of the wall are very interesting architectural designs on the walls made up of squares and other shapes. The theater also contains a large Casavant Tracker organ. I saw a wonderful production here of The Wild Party that was presented by the musical theater majors at CCM. The show was tight, wild, and entertaining!

Shout out to the lead, Don Pasquale, as well as Norina and The Doctor. They were hilarious. The entire crowd was laughing, it felt more like a comedy show than the opera. Mark Gibson, the conductor was also superb. He's a show in himself, just watch him, it's great. He really gets the best from the orchestra which was also very good. I can't really say enough good things, best money I've spent in a long time. I'd recommend sitting in the back if you don't speak the language. They always have subtitles, but if you sit in the front you'll have a kink in your neck from looking up at the screen. Can't wait to go back, too bad the shows are almost over for the season.

HUGE FAN OF LIVE THEATER! This is a small community theater in the heart of Mariemont. It actually…read moreis in an old school house. When you walk into the building, you enter a lobby. In this lobby, there is a place where you can sit down or stand and talk before entering the auditorium upstairs. They usually have drinks and a few snacks provided during intermission and sometimes even before the show begins. On this floor, there are bathrooms. Since it is a very old building, it is built more vertically than laid out horizontally. You have to walk at least two flights of steps to get to where the show is performed. If you want to use the larger bathrooms, they are downstairs two flights of stairs. Last time I was here, I realized there is now an elevator. You can reach that door by going outside of the lobby--such a great addition for those who cannot handle the steps. The theater is very small, as the auditorium holds about 110 to 120 people. It is pretty packed where the show is performed, as the seats are close to one another. There are rows A through G with about 18 seats in each row. There is not a bad seat in the house, but if you are in the front row, you are almost on stage! I love how intimate this theater is. All of the shows that I have seen at Mariemont are high-quality. In fact, those actors and actresses have to be high-quality, as the audience is so close, there is not really room for error. I've seen two shows here in the past year: Harvey and Dearly Departed. Both were great! Looking around the audience, most of the audience members were above the age of 60. Lots of older women and gentlemen, and in my conversations with the people around me, I really do feel like this theater has a large audience of return members. The older gentleman sitting next to me at the last show said he and his wife have been coming to see all the shows here for the past 20 years. He was at least in his 80s. I love seeing the community rally around their community theater and supporting the arts! Thanks for a wonderful time! I can't wait to be back.

However, I am appalled that during the worst covid outbreak that we have ever seen in this area, they are not cancelling performances. Apparently, their love for the almighty dollar outweighs their care and respect of their audience members. I was grateful last year when they cancelled the whole season. I even donated my ticket (4) costs and I would do so again if performances were cancelled. I am fully vaccinated and boosted, however I still don't want to get covid. So, I will not be attending any performances until the covid pandemic has subsided.

In mid- 2011, the Glenmore Playhouse was still known as the Glenmore Bowl, a local landmark that…read morewas known to generations of Cincinnatians on the West side for almost 85 years. When the previous owners decided it was time to call it a day, it was thought by many that this historic structure would go the way of so many others, i.e. succumbing to the fate of the wrecking ball, or simply by dying a slow and painful death from neglect. However, in the fall of 2011, The Drama Workshop (TDW), a local theatre group, purchased the building to make themselves a permanent home. Having produced community theatre in this part of Cincinnati since 1954, and having squeezed in performances at the nearby Westwood Town Hall Recreation Center for years, TDW jumped at the chance to have a place to call their own. I had seen several productions put on by The Drama Workshop while they were at the Westwood Town Hall Recreation Center, and made it a point to come out for their first production at the new location. It was Snoopy! The Musical, in October of 2012. At that time, the Glenmore Playhouse was still pretty rough as a theatre. Plywood filled in the gaps where the alley gutters and ball returns used to be. Temperature control was minimal (it was a warm October that year), and the "bowling alley acoustics" left many in the audience leaning forward and cocking their heads to hear the actors. Seating was of the old metal fold out chair variety sitting level on the floor. While there were sidewalls and a lobby, you could easily see it's bowling alley past. There was a lot of work to be done. Since then, that is in less than 2 years, the transformation here has been amazing. The temperature control problem is now gone, thanks to a new HVAC system. Acoustic panels and a few other additions have greatly improved the sound quality of both the actors and the effects. There is a professional lighting grid, beautiful new carpeting, and everything has been painted. The lobby has been redone. But the most dramatic improvement to the theatre has been the addition of padded theatre seats, complete with armrests, that are affixed to sets of movable risers, stadium style. A great improvement which I believe came from a local university that was replacing their seats, and the change here has been dramatic. For the patrons: they are comfortable, they are inviting, and due to the tiered rows, they improve the sight line to the stage immeasurably. Additionally, and a benefit for both the patrons and the theatre, is that the riser sets break apart and can be arranged to fit the set design needs. Some productions use a straight row style like you see at a movie theater, with everyone facing forward towards the elevated stage. Some are in-the-round style, with the set being in the middle at floor level, and the seats being arranged in groups on three sides of the set. Great flexibility for the production team, and great variety for the audience. Although they are limited to about 99 seats, due to minimum exit requirements, the building has room for a lot more, when the time comes. There is still work to be done, mainly reminders that the building was built in a far different era. Entering the men's restroom is like squeezing college kids into a phone booth. The odd, wedged shape room doesn't lend itself to accommodating the "accommodations" very well. There are plans to move these at some point, however, which will be a welcomed change. The steps into the building are not ADA friendly, but I understand a ramp is pretty much next on the list of things to do. Probably the most impressive thing of all is that this is done mainly by volunteers and by a few paid craftsmen. Local contractors have donated, or else provided at significantly reduced rates, the time and some of the materials to help get this place done. Volunteers are the main source of labor. A hardcore group of weekend help has made this what it is. Ah, local theatre and community involvement at its best. I am just a patron, but I go to a lot of theatre, so I reasonably well know of what I speak. I attended 88 theatre productions last year alone throughout the local Cincinnati area. I can't think of a harder working or more dedicated group of people than those who have banded together to save this beautiful old building, and turn it into this local gem. I highly recommend coming out to see what they have done here, and to watch some of the most enjoyable, affordable theatre that one could hope to see anywhere. I have also reviewed The Drama Workshop on Yelp!, so take a peek at that if you would like a little more insight into the productions and into TDW themselves.

We stayed for two improv shows and very much enjoyed them!…read more The prices for 2 shows for 1 night of entertainment is incredibly reasonable. I don't see why people wouldn't stay for the second show for a mere $5 more! I do like that there is small stadium seating and higher top chairs in back so you're not staring at heads. My main problem was the lights went out on me 3 times in the bathroom. I walked in after someone, went to unzip, and suddenly darkness. I used my flash light on my phone to try finding a switch and tried pulling on a light string but that wasn't correct. It came back but still went off 2 more times in my should-have-been-a-minute-tinkle. Also, it would be cool if they served alcohol, even if limited, but I did like the prices of soft drinks. I feel like everyone overprices but they do not. Highly recommend for a cheap date night for laughter. Plus there's tons to do in the area before.
