Never be intimidated by the pomp and circumstance of the arts. Chances are that things are a lot less formal than you think. Below we give some tips on what you might consider wearing depending on the type of event. If you're ever unsure, don't hesitate to contact the box office for the event that you're going to attend. They'll always be helpful.

• Theatre - Always go with what's comfortable whether it's jeans or a suit. "Fun casual" is usually what people wear to plays in Cincinnati - unless it's opening night, which is usually more dressy. Broadway shows are more formal, while community theatre audiences usually wear whatever's comfortable.
• Dance  - Dance performances usually attract a more formally attired crowd than theatre performances. Again, go with what's comfortable. See Theatre for a more detailed description.
• Symphony  - Attire depends on timing. You're not going to wear the same thing to a free concert in the park as you would to a concert on Saturday night at Music Hall. When in doubt, call the Box Office.
