Clear Stage Cincinnati is a non-profit theatre company in Cincinnati, OH devoted to the advancement of young artists in the professional theater community. Clear Stage Cincinnati not only provides high quality diverse professional theatre, but also implements several educational programs and provides opportunities to those seeking a career in the arts.
Clear Stage Cincinnati's main goal is to retain local artists and train new artists so that they might rejuvenate and build the local theatrical industry in Cincinnati for the betterment of the community.
Their first season (2003-2004) was a two-show season containing the world premiere of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Return of the King, adapted for the stage by Blake Bowden, and the regional premiere of The Yellow Boat by David Saar.
In addition, Clear Stage Cincinnati operates several educational outreach programs that tour local K-12 schools.
Currently they offer The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) through a partnership with the Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA), as well as Books in Action as part of Cincinnati Public Schools Head Start program. These programs and future programs will provide students with the opportunity to experience theatre and interact with professional actors in their schools.
Clear Stage Cincinnati also provides opportunities for high school students to work with and learn from seasoned professionals as members of our Internship Program, as well as work opportunities for college students and graduates though our Apprenticeship Program.
By promoting their mission of developing home grown theatrical talent in Cincinnati they hope to provide a creative outlet for talented young artists and compel them to remain in this community. They also feature "The New Directors Series" and "The Spotlight Series." These programs are designed to provide career-building experience for new directors, designers and performers and will be incorporated into the main stage season.
