The rich heritage shows how much Cincinnatians loved the Bard over the past 200 years. A few attention-grabbers from historical accounts include: “An actress died on stage just when her character was supposed to die.” “A 70-year old Hamlet thrilled the audience and inspired a Cincinnati landmark.” “A fire broke out in a Cincinnati theater and ‘Hamlet’ left the stage to guide the audience to safety.” Join us for this unique presentation about these amazing connections!
