Corner of the Sky: The Music of Stephen Schwartz at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

The 2026-2027 Season will kick off with Corner of the Sky: The Music of Stephen Schwartz, a world premiere of the first theatrical celebration of the legendary Stephen Schwartz songbook, highlighting six decades of song from the beloved Grammy– and Academy Award–winning composer of Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, The Prince of Egypt, and other Broadway and Hollywood classics. Conceived and created by Scott Coulter (CCM ’93), this thrilling and moving musical begins with Stephen’s first hit Broadway song, “Corner of the Sky,” and features the myriad musical ways it led to everything that came after, including “Defying Gravity.”
