Performances are free, but ticket reservations are encouraged
Story by CCM Graduate Assistant Mya Gibson
The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music presents six new works in Transmigration 2025 at 7 p.m. on Oct. 28-30 at CCM Village. Tickets are FREE, but reservations through the CCM Box Office are encouraged.
Now in its 17th year, Transmigration — named for “the transition from one state of being to another,” continues to serve as a home for the next generation of bold new voices in theater. Constructed by teams of CCM Acting students, each year’s festival sees CCM students produce six original 30-minute shows. With performances happening simultaneously throughout CCM, audience members have the freedom to curate their own theater journey for the night. More information about each student-created work is below.
