CSC offers 15-20 actors long-term employment each season through its resident ensemble model. On average, a CSC ensemble member is employed for 30 weeks of work each season, three times the American regional theatre’s average contract length...This has a significant ripple effect on the larger community since—in contrast with other regional theatres that job in actors from New York or Chicago on a show-by-show basis—CSC’s artists’ wages are channeled directly into the local economy...In its 20-year existence, CSC has relocated more than 120 artists from all over the country (and the world) to Cincinnati, and 75 have gone local, becoming members of the community, contributing to the local economy, and building the cultural class of the city. --Brian Isaac Phillips, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, American Theatre magazine bit.ly/14MVigd
