About Family Arts Passport
Family Arts Passport is a new program from Wyoming Fine Arts Center that helps families navigate Cincinnati's major arts institutions together. This year, we're taking four trips:
La Bohème at CCM – October 31
The Art of Charley Harper at the Cincinnati Art Museum – January 24
CINCINNATI KING at Playhouse in the Park – February 27
A baseball-themed Family Concert with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra – April 3
Each trip has three parts. Before the event, we'll learn about what we're going to see and meet some of the people who make it. Then we'll experience it together. Afterward, we'll talk about what stood out and make art in response, led by teaching artists Sergio Aguillón-Mata and Annie Ruth.
We take care of the details. Every trip includes bus transportation from WFAC, tickets, and a meal.
Requesting support
If cost is a barrier for your family, we'll cover it, including childcare if you need it. Email passport@musicartdance.org with your name, which trip or trips you'd like to join, how many people are coming, and whether you need childcare. You don't need to explain your situation or send any paperwork. We'll hold your spots and reply within two-three business days.
Each trip is limited to 40 people.
Saturday, February 27, 2027 · 12:30 PM – 5:30 PM
CINCINNATI KING, written and directed by KJ Sanchez, is a new play set in a bar and a recording studio. Based on interviews, the story traces the groundbreaking rise of music pioneer Syd Nathan and the artists he produced, the music he created and the enemies he made along the way. The show shares behind-the-scenes tales of King Records hits including “The Twist,” “Blues Stay Away From Me,” “Fever” and “Need Your Love So Bad.” Cincinnati King shines a spotlight on this revolutionary music label and its Queen City roots.
RUNNING TIME: The show runs approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes, including one intermission.
We'll see the 2:00 PM matinee at Playhouse in the Park.
Before the show, we'll share a meal together at the Playhouse [and hear from a member of the production's creative team].
