www.cincinnati.com: An application for the Historic Conservation Board reveals the first look at the proposed new Over-the-Rhine home for the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company.
The company presented an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness and zoning variance from the Historic Conservation Board Monday afternoon, where the design was approved. More details of the plans will be revealed next week.

If I were a citizen of Cincinnati, I would be very excited about this project. First, stylistically I really enjoy the design of building with the natural light and the theatre space itself. The theatre looks like the audience is never very far away from the action, which I think would be a great selling point for tickets. I like that what would be happening in the the building each night, led the design and was taken into consideration, because all too often I think people design spaces for aesthetic reasons but do not take into account the practical necessities that they need out of the space. The design seems very contemporary which I think is clear attempt at drawing in younger audiences as older subscriber bases start to decline. This attempt I think is smart because it recognizes the change that is coming as opposed to trying to salvage something that will not last.
