Planned Giving Fuels the Playhouse Mission
Planned gifts play a critical role in sustaining our mission to be Cincinnati’s national theatre – committed to bringing diverse, engaging works of great artistry to our community and to putting Cincinnati’s artistic excellence in the national spotlight.
We made a Planned Gift to the Playhouse to support great theatre because it is important to us that we come together as a community to share in the joys and challenges of what it means to be human. The Playhouse does a remarkable job of entertaining us, but as importantly, brings to light difficult subjects and provides a forum for diverse discussions and open dialogue.
