“CSC has already transformed the city once. It is now constrained by the very success it created. For All, For All Time unlocks the next era. CSC’s financial stability and programmatic influence make it uniquely positioned to deliver a capital expansion that secures and expands these public benefits for decades to come. In choosing to support, you are not funding an experiment. By supporting the campaign, you are finishing a proven trajectory.” -Brian Isaac Phillips, Producing Artistic Director and CEO.
The For All, For All Time Capital Campaign marks the next chapter in a vision first introduced in 2015, when Cincinnati Shakespeare Company announced plans to complete the “Classical Arts Corridor” with its permanent home at the corner of 12th and Elm Streets in Over-the-Rhine which opened in 2017. Nearly a decade after opening the Otto M. Budig Theater, CSC has outgrown the capacity of its current space. The expansion will complete the original vision for a fully integrated performing arts campus designed to serve audiences, students, artists, and the community for generations to come.
In recognition of a major gift to the campaign, we will offer a variety of naming opportunities at a wide range of giving levels. Capital campaign donors will be recognized on-site, in print, and digitally on the CSC website. Donors will also receive other benefits including access to exclusive behind-the-scenes opportunities and special events.

These are an effective way to increase your support of the campaign. Please check with your company as to whether they offer matching gifts to directors, employees, and spouses and what restriction or rules are in place.

Longtime patrons and donors Debby and Jim Mason have signed on to chair the campaign. “We are honored to take on this responsibility because we believe deeply in CSC’s mission and have tremendous confidence in the theater’s leadership and staff,” said Debby, daughter of James Bridgeland, one of the leadership donors to CSC’s first capital campaign. “We hope you will join us in bringing this vision to life. My Dad’s generosity—as a father and through the legacy he left me—has given us the means and the inspiration to help make that vision a reality.”
