September is a busy month here in Cincinnati as the whole city takes advantage of the waning summer weather. Here at Deupree House, we have a whole hosting of activities in store to make the most of these last few weeks of the season. Take a peek at some of the highlights from our social calendar.

7:30 PM: Cincinnati Shakespeare
What happens when feuding fairies meddle in the love lives of human couples? Comical adventures, mistaken identities, and a silly play-within-a-play! The cast of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be bringing this production to us as they hilariously attempt to rehearse and perform a play for the Duke’s wedding. In this whimsical forest, a happy ending is guaranteed for both sprites and mortals alike.
