Help us fundraise for a commission project to honor and celebrate marriage equality in the United States! The piece will specifically honor Jim Obergefell and his late husband John Arthur who were the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case that landed marriage equality in 2015. The piece will be premiered by the QCFB and the Columbus Pride Band who is our partner on the commission. The piece will also be performed at a Pride Bands Alliance conference to be held in Columbus in July 2024.
OTR Stillhouse has a great drink selection, usually a food truck or two, and plenty of free parking! Bring your dollar bills and get ready for a fun afternoon!
Want to donate but can't make it to the event? Donations can be made online using PayPal or Venmo (@isqccbe). Be sure to include "QCFB" in the notes!

Tootsie
March 7 - 19
Featuring a Tony-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony-winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is a “hilarious, thoroughly modern TOOTSIE ” (People Magazine) that’s “even funnier than the movie!” (New York Post). “In these turbulent times, with the world out of balance, we need a place to let the good times roll,” says Rolling Stone, “TOOTSIE is it.”

John Arthur Flats is now Pre-Leasing! John Arthur Flats is the first LGBTQ+ friendly 55+ senior affordable housing development in Cincinnati. It contains 57 newly constructed studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartments affordable to seniors ranging from 30% AMI to 60% AMI. This 3-story elevator served building is in an ideal walkable location with easy access to the Northside business district, McKie Recreation Center and many other nearby amenities.
For many LGBTQ older adults, the social stigma they’ve experienced and the added stress of dealing with decades of discrimination can put them at greater risk of physical and mental illnesses, experiencing higher rates of poverty and suffering higher rates of housing discrimination. Innovative housing solutions like John Arthur Flats respond to this need, providing a safe and welcoming environment for seniors to age in place in community. All are welcome to apply!
