A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

Celebrate fifty years of musical theatre history! In 1969, the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music (CCM) became the first school in America — and the world — to offer a degree in musical theatre. From the first graduate (Company’s Pam Myers) to the most recent (the class of 2019), fifty years of CCMers come together on one special night to celebrate the school that started it all by singing from the shows they starred in and the roles they created. This musical theatre celebration will include songs from Company, Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, Crazy for You, Rent, Hamilton, Forever Plaid, Merrily We Roll Along, Wicked, Waitress, and more performed by Pamela Myers, Lisa Howard, Jason Graae, Jessica Hendy, Sharon Wheatley, and a host of CCM grads.
