CCM students take the stage at The Carnegie in Northern Kentucky this summer

The Carnegie Summer Theatre Series features the talents of nearly 20 CCM students and faculty

What do a cast of classic children's characters, a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical and the tale of an immigrant who would become one of the biggest bootleggers (and local legends) in history all have in common? They’ll all be making their way to The Carnegie in Northern Kentucky this summer with nearly 20 CCM students, alumni and faculty members in the cast and crew.

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.
