Next Seasons Announced at West Side Theaters Covedale Center and Warsaw Federal Incline Theater Boast Exciting, Eclectic Titles Through Spring 2018 Cincinnati Landmark Productions announced its next slate of shows at its two theaters this weekend at the annual Double Season Announcement party.

With the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts wrapping up its 15th year and the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater in its second full year, the west side theatre group is now producing year-around at its two venues. CLP designed three production seasons at the two theaters to appeal to current patrons and to reach new audiences.
Tonight, the west-side theater group announced its 2017-18 Covedale Center Marquee Series as well as the 2017-18 Warsaw Federal Incline Theater District Series.

The shows are:

Covedale Center Marquee Series, presented by Cincinnati Federal and TriHealth:

  • The Miracle Worker, September 7 - October 1, 2017
  • Young Frankenstein, October 19 - November 12, 2017
  • Annie, November 30 - December 23, 2017
  • Guys and Dolls, February 15 - March 11, 2018

Warsaw Federal Incline Theater District Series:

  • Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, January 25 - February 11, 2018
  • Monty Python's Spamalot, March 22 - April 8, 2018

The Covedale Center Marquee Series subscriptions are $120 for all 5 shows and are now available. Current subscribers can renew their seats through June 23, 2017. Tickets to single shows go on sale July 24, 2017. The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts is located at 4990 Glenway Avenue.

District Series subscriptions for the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater are $69 for all 3 shows and are now available. Current subscribers can renew their seats through June 23, 2017. Tickets to single shows go on sale July 24, 2017. The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater is located at 801 Matson Place.

At the announcement event, Cincinnati Landmark Productions outlined some programming changes as well. Beginning with the 2017-18 theatre season, CLP will reduce the Marquee Series from 6 productions to 5 and the District Series from 4 to 3 productions. Then, beginning in Summer 2018, an additional production will be added to the Summer Classics Season, bringing it from 3 shows to 4.

"From an organizational perspective, this greatly streamlines production bandwidth and maximizes our greatest strengths while still allowing us to grow and build new audiences," said Tim Perrino, executive artistic director of Cincinnati Landmark Productions. "Most importantly, this allows us to truly offer year-round, affordable, locally-produced entertainment for our base audience."

Perrino said that the company would be no less busy. There are 212 annual performance nights planned in this new structure, with 90 performances planned for the Covedale Center and 122 at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater.

The Marquee Series and District Series seasons complement Cincinnati Landmark Productions' previously announced 2017 Summer Classics Season at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater, presented by TriHealth:

  • Damn Yankees, May 24 - June 18, 2017
  • Blithe Spirit, June 28 - July 23, 2017
  • The Drowsy Chaperone, August 2-27, 2017

The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater, opened in June 2015, is a brand new, purpose-built, 229-seat performing arts center and parking garage in the Incline District in East Price Hill. Located at the corner of Matson Place and West 8th Street, the $6 million project was finished on time and on budget. All 45 performances during the debut 2015 Summer Classics Season were sold out.

Sponsorships and Donor programs for the theaters and new seasons are still available.
