Proceeds from REVEL support Shakespeare For All, a series of initiatives designed to break down barriers to Shakespeare and the Classics for thousands of students, families, and community members. From $14 Access Tickets on the Mainstage, to dozens of FREE Shakespeare in the Park performances, to PROJECT38—our most ambitious and impactful education program—your REVEL tickets and donations make it possible for everyone to experience professional classical theatre in Cincinnati.
Questions? Email us.
Individual tickets start at $125, a portion of which may be recognized as a tax-deductible donation to Cincinnati Shakespeare Company.
Supporter tickets include complimentary valet, festive libations and dinner-by-the-bite in the Linnemann Family Lobby, Upper Gallery seats at the performance, dessert, and other surprises throughout the evening. Benefactor tickets include everything at the Supporter level, with seating for the performance in the Lower Gallery. A limited number of Champion tickets include everything at the Supporter level plus seating for the performance in the Lower Gallery Center as well as recognition from the stage the night of the event.
Unlike other galas you might have attended, there are no traditional “tables” for ticketed guests. Dinner by the bite will be passed throughout the Lobby before the show and the entertainment portion of the evening will be a performance.
We do have a limited number of dedicated tables available for REVEL sponsors. Sponsorships start at $2,500 and you can learn more about levels and benefits at the “Sponsorships” tab.
Yes! If you are interested in sponsoring the event, either through your company or as a Community Host, please email Sara.Clark@cincyshakes.com. You will receive dedicated table seating for your guests and your entire party will be seated together inside the theater for the performance.
REVEL is a black tie optional or festive cocktail attire event.
