Upcoming Events
New works, readings, and special events from American Legacy Theatre.
April 10-26, 2026 • Venue TBA
Be there for the debut of Bridge City, Kennan Butler’s bold new musical that blends joy, love, and Black resilience with a sharp look at gentrification and code-switching. Or, as Butler puts it: “Like Legally Blonde but for Black folk.”
May 16-17, 2026 • Venue TBA
Experience the complete staged reading of Megan Benjamin Bennett’s Clos(in)g. After the performance, audiences will join a talkback with the playwright and cast their vote on whether the play moves forward to a world-premiere production.
Students Create Change Theatre Festival
May 16-17, 2026 • Venue TBA
For the first time ever, ALT is bringing together students from up to ten schools for a weekend of original theatre in downtown Cincinnati. Each play is written, designed, and performed by young artists through ALT’s Students Create Change program—our flagship initiative that empowers students to use the stage to tackle the issues they care about most.
