Aronoff Center

The Aronoff Center for the Arts is located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. Designed by renowned architect Cesar Pelli, the state-of-the-art facility opened in October 1995. The Center consists of three stunning performance spaces: Procter & Gamble Hall, Jarson-Kaplan Theater, and Fifth Third Bank Theater.     In addition, the Aronoff Center also houses meeting and reception rooms, space for rehearsals, and the Alice F. & Harris K. Weston Art Gallery.   Procter & Gamble Hall is the Aronoff Center's largest theater and seats 2,719. It has a fully-equipped stage, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and a beautiful ceiling studded with 3,000 fiber optic lenses that create a starlight effect. The rich color scheme of terra-cotta, teal, and ochre is accented with brass trim and cherry wood. Excellent sightlines and comfortable seating add to the enjoyment of any event.   The Jarson-Kaplan Theater seats 437 and is a perfect setting for small and medium-sized performances or meetings. The theater is surprisingly intimate with full production capabilities, great acoustics, an attractive design (which mirrors that of the Procter & Gamble Hall), and excellent sightlines.    The Fifth Third Bank Theater is a studio space that seats up to 150 in a theater setting, and can be configured for a wide variety of functions from performances to dinners and dances for up to 180. With full lighting and sound, many businesses will find the space ideal for presentations, conferences, meetings, or parties.
