COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY The safety and well-being of our patrons, artists and staff is our top priority. As health and safety guidelines are constantly evolving, we continue to closely monitor the situation and modify our COVID-19 health and safety plan appropriately. We will follow all local, state and federal mandates, as well as CDC guidelines, to ensure everyone a safe and enjoyable live theatre experience. Safety measures include cleaning all public spaces between performances with CDC-approved disinfecting solutions and a continuous air-flow system with MERV13 filters for all the air-handling units throughout the building. For more information and our current guidelines and measures, please note signage in the lobby and visit cincyplay.com/safety.

PARKING The Park Board reminds you that Eden Park officially closes at 10 p.m. As a grace period to the Playhouse, the police will not ticket vehicles until one half hour following the end of a performance. The Playhouse assumes no responsibility for anyone receiving a ticket for illegal parking. Convenient parking is available in the Playhouse garage. Purchase parking in advance to secure a space. Parking can also be purchased from our parking attendant immediately before the performance if available.

Accessible parking for those with disabilities is located in front of the main entrance, as well as in the Playhouse parking garage. Parking for persons with disabilities is limited and must be reserved and paid for in advance. All vehicles using these spaces must display a valid disability placard. PROHIBITION OF WEAPONS The Ohio Revised Code (R.C. 2923.126) has established the privilege of carrying a concealed handgun to Ohio citizens who have obtained the proper license. The same law explicitly grants private employers in the state the right to prohibit their employees and visitors from possessing firearms on the employer’s premises. With this notification the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is informing you that it prohibits weapons of any kind on its premises, and reserves the right to search persons, parcels and vehicles on the same. This policy applies to all employees, patrons and visitors to the facility. RESTROOMS AND TELEPHONES Restrooms are located in the Rosenthal Plaza. A phone is located near the Box Office in the Budig Lobby. SMOKING/VAPING Smoking/vaping is prohibited in the entire theatre complex.
