Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative Tickets

The Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative (CPI) is a distinctive Cincinnati-based performer and producing organization dedicated to developing and presenting new plays by local playwrights. Formed in November 1996, CPI has been a resident company at the Aronoff Center for the Arts since 2001, making it a cornerstone of Cincinnati’s vibrant theater scene. CPI specializes in low-cost staged readings that invite audience feedback through engaging talkbacks, helping playwrights refine their work with direct community input. If you’re looking for accessible, intimate theater that supports local storytelling, CPI is where curiosity meets craft.

Upcoming CPI events bring fresh voices to life on the Aronoff Center’s Fifth Third Bank Theater stage. Look for performances such as Love Fest on February 11, 2025, and Hollywood Masala on September 16, 2025, as part of CPI’s 2025-26 season. While CPI focuses on new plays rather than recording or albums, their collaborative approach offers a unique, communal theatrical experience.
