Cincinnati is a town best defined by its music - a rich and diversified mix of multiple genres and influences. This week Soapbox and Seven/Seventy-Nine explore Cincinnati's cool jazz scene which is seeing a growing audience thanks to clubs such as the Blue Wisp and Mr. Pitifuls.
Cincinnati is home to one of the largest touring puppet theaters in the country. Madcap Puppet Theatre, which began when a Cincinnati native returned to his hometown after working with Jim Henson, is now nationally recognized for original in-school educational programs that include performances, workshops, and residencies. In addition to playing at schools, Madcap Puppet troupes frequently play libraries, festivals, museums, and an occasional performance with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Find out more as Soapbox and Seven/Seventy-Nine go inside Madcap Puppet Theater.
The holiday season is upon us and this week's original Soapbox video from our friends at Seven/Seventy-Nine, Ltd., can help you find gifts that are uniquely Cincinnati.

Over 1500 people attended DAAP's 58th Annual Fashion Show where the school's finest showed off why graduates of the University of Cincinnati's award-winning program creates some of the industries most sought after talent. Local video production company Seven/Seventy-Nine, Ltd. spoke with Laurie Wilson.
As we work throughout the week identifying and reporting the new Cincinnati story, the Soapbox staff continually challenges itself to see our city in a new light, from a new perspective. From the pieces that we write to the images we broadcast, the hope is to shake ourselves, as well as our readers, out of the rut of what we take for granted as familiar. Our jobs are exponentially more gratifying when we find someone else doing the same thing. Such was the case when we were able to see this beautiful piece created by a remarkably talented video production company named Seven/Seventy-Nine.
