UC Clermont’s Calico Children’s Theatre presents ‘Rumpelstiltzkin’
Show geared toward elementary students; tickets on sale now
UC Clermont College’s Calico Children’s Theatre will feature “Rumpelstiltzkin”, performed by The Frisch Marionettes, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m.
Adapted from the Brothers’ Grimm classic tale, this story teaches the importance of making promises that one can keep and the perils of exaggerating the truth. Working primarily with marionettes, The Frisch Marionettes perform in the traditional styles of 19th century European puppetry. Drawing inspiration from the great European troupes such as the Salzburg Marionette Theatre, they endeavor to bring one of the great old world arts to contemporary audiences. The show is recommended for children in kindergarten through 6th grade.
All performances are held in the Krueger Auditorium on the UC Clermont College campus at 4200 Clermont College Dr., Batavia, Ohio, and are approximately one hour long.

The Niehoff Center for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cincinnati invites the campus and community to delve into the thought-provoking “2026 UC European Film Series: Perspectives on Our World.” Five recent films will be screened, with introductions and discussions led by UC faculty. Using a variety of genres and forms, these films encourage audiences to think about their place on the planet, in relation to civic engagement, to the natural world, to others, and even to space aliens in Moravia. “The series is a mix of realism, reality, comedy, and escapism that we hope will make you see things differently,” said Michael Gott, Neihoff Center director of programming and College of Arts and Sciences professor. “Film can make us rethink our ideas about the world and see things from different perspectives.” Past topics have ranged from artificial intelligence to migration, urban spaces, and women in film. Following each screening, discussions with filmmakers and UC faculty aim to spark meaningful conversations.
