TAKE THE STAGE
Own a Piece of History
It’s your cue to TAKE THE STAGE and own a piece of Aronoff Center history – a section of the Procter & Gamble Hall’s original stage floor which was replaced this summer after nearly thirty years of use.
Since the opening of the Aronoff Center in 1995, this beloved stage has held hundreds upon hundreds of shows and stars from Hamilton, Disney’s The Lion King, and The Phantom of the Opera to Patti LaBelle, Carol Burnett, and Tony Bennett… and many, many more.
The Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA) invites you to support the NEXT STAGE in our ongoing history of presenting arts and entertainment experiences at the Aronoff Center and in the community. For a donation of $250, you will receive a beautifully framed, limited-edition shadowbox that includes an engraved piece of the original Procter & Gamble Hall stage and a stunning image of the theater, plus a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Relive your cherished memories of unforgettable moments at the Aronoff or give this piece of theatrical history to your favorite Aronoff Center fan!
Most importantly, your generous TAKE THE STAGE donation will help us sustain our Education & Community Engagement (ECE) programs that promote transformative, life-long participation in the arts. With a mission to educate, inspire, and engage the Tri-state region, these accessible arts programs ignite the imaginations of all ages. ECE has served nearly two million children and adults since the inception of these programs nearly three decades ago.
