Come be part of something that matters this summer.

Marjorie Book has been producing full length theatrical productions since 1993 with inclusive casts represented by a variety of abilities and disabilities and represented by various age groups from ages 12 – 86.  This summer, we will produce a full length play.   We also can use volunteers to help with clerical tasks and to help actors run lines on any particular night of rehearsals. We would welcome volunteers for one night or for many evenings.  At certain points, we can use volunteer help in moving supplies from our storage space in Over the Rhine to locations in Clifton.  We do not hold auditions, although we do engage in some staged readings during the first rehearsal and then cast parts.  Please let us know if you are interested in being involved.  All are welcome, and it is not necessary to be an accomplished reader (or even a reader) to participate in the play. 

Watch on the Rhine is a 1941 play by Lillian Hellman about a German anti-fascist, Kurt Muller, who seeks refuge with his American wife's family in Washington D.C. as WWII looms, but his past catches up with him through a Nazi-sympathizing houseguest, forcing a confrontation with fascism and moral duty.

To help you, and our participants to get the most of the experience, volunteers are asked to read our volunteer handout prior to attending an event.

We are always looking for actors, with and without prior experience, to join the cast.  Most actors are able to make 80 percent of the rehearsals, but almost all of the actors miss some rehearsals. If you are interested in acting, please come to the first rehearsal, or contact us at: 513-328-6300.

Mindfulness practices have long been embedded in many Asian cultures as tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and self-awareness. These traditions were often passed down through generations as everyday practices rather than formal exercises. In today’s academic environment, students frequently balance rigorous coursework, work obligations, cultural adjustment, and emotional stress. For international students and those from immigrant families, these pressures can be compounded by language barriers, cultural expectations, and identity navigation. Our organization recognizes the importance of culturally rooted wellness practices that honor these experiences without adding additional strain. This mindfulness initiative is designed to support students in integrating moments of calm into their existing routines. The practice emphasizes intention over perfection and consistency over intensity. Above all, this program frames mindfulness as both a personal wellness tool and a culturally meaningful tradition.

Participants may begin by sitting comfortably or standing upright in a quiet space, keeping the spine relaxed but aligned. Attention should be gently placed on the natural rhythm of the breath, without attempting to control or change it. When thoughts arise, participants are encouraged to notice them without judgment and return focus to breathing. This practice emphasizes presence and patience, allowing calm to develop gradually rather than forcing relaxation.

Participants may choose a short calming word, sound, or phrase and repeat it silently or softly while maintaining steady breathing. The repetition should be slow and rhythmic, aligning with natural inhalation and exhalation. The focus is on the sound and vibration of the mantra rather than its meaning, although meaning may be personally significant. This practice helps cultivate concentration, grounding, and emotional stability during periods of stress.

Participants may begin by sitting quietly and directing kind, supportive thoughts toward themselves before extending them outward to others. These reflections should be intentional and gentle, without forcing emotion or expectation. Alternatively, walking mindfulness may be practiced by moving slowly and deliberately, paying attention to each step and breath. This approach emphasizes compassion, connection, and awareness within everyday movement.

Participants may engage in slow, controlled movements or stretches while maintaining steady breathing. Attention should be placed on physical sensations such as balance, tension, and release. Movements should be fluid and unhurried, prioritizing awareness over physical exertion. This practice supports mind-body connection and helps release stress accumulated through prolonged sitting or mental strain.

Participants may focus on grounding techniques such as counting breaths, noticing surrounding sounds, or observing physical sensations. Journaling after the practice is encouraged to reflect on emotional state, stress levels, or personal insights. Writing should be open-ended and non-judgmental, focusing on awareness rather than outcomes. These practices allow participants to integrate mindfulness into daily academic life in a flexible and accessible way.

We acknowledge that academic schedules, work commitments, and personal responsibilities can be demanding and unpredictable. Participants may divide their practice into shorter sessions throughout the day rather than completing it all at once. All exercises are adaptable to personal comfort levels and environmental constraints. The intent is to support student well-being while respecting the realities of educational life.

The FC Cincinnati Foundation is looking for several volunteers to fill our open coaching positions for the Spring 2026 season. No prior coaching experience needed!
