Withrow Minstrels
The Withrow Minstrels was a popular musical variety show that ran for 35 years at Withrow High School, Cincinnati, Ohio. It was known as "The Minstrels". 200 performances were staged, between 1931 and 1965.
==History==
The Minstrels was created in 1931 by the school’s 22-year-old band director, George G. "Smittie" Smith, and performed under "Smittie’s" direction each year in the late spring. The Minstrels is recognized as one of the nation’s first high school performing arts programs,.〔The Cincinnati Post, "Before the School for Performing and Creative Arts, the Withrow Minstrels", 7/17/85〕 At the first performance in May,1931, The depression era crowd was thrilled by the polish and professionalism 〔The Cincinnati Enquirer, "Withrow Minstrels to Observe Their 30th Birthday Next Week", 5/12/60〕 of the cast of 12- to 17-year-old kids (1970 the six Cincinnati public high schools comprised grades seven to twelve ). The curtain closed on the last performance on Saturday, May 8, 1965, when Smittie retired from teaching (Enquirer, 6/26/1982). It initially ran for 6 nights, always drawing sell-out crowds in excess of 2000 people per performance. (Enquirer, 5/12/60). In 1956 the Cincinnati Board of Education ordered the school to cut performances to 5 nights, citing "concern" that the show took up too much student time.〔
