Off the Hill Touring Plays

2021-22 Season

Each year, the Playhouse is proud to partner with many of the region's community arts centers and other community venues to bring three plays "off the hill" to families throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. This season we will open with a virtual production and hope to be live for the final production. 

 

Snow White
