At REVEL, we honor an individual without whom Cincinnati Shakespeare Company would not exist with the annual Globe Award. Previous honorees include Calvin and Patricia Linnemann, Richard Westheimer, Otto M. Budig, Jr., Elizabeth “Lib” Stone, Vicky Reynolds, Jeanne Golliher, D. Lynn Meyers, and Bill McKim. This 30th Anniversary Season, we are proud to honor a dedicated patron, longtime supporter, and dear friend: Don Tecklenburg. 

When the CSC Board and Staff considered people who have made an extraordinary impact on Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Don Tecklenburg was an irrefutable choice for this year’s honoree. A dedicated patron and donor since 2007, Don served three terms on the CSC Board of Trustees, including a term as Board President—an instrumental role during our $17.5MM Capital Campaign to build a brand new theater in Downtown Cincinnati. 

Don’s career has spanned a variety of roles in finance and accounting, including a stint as the Business Manager for the Cincinnati Reds; Vice Chancellor and CFO at Antioch College, and the Homer E. White Foundation Associate Professor of Accounting at Ohio Wesleyan University.
