Is there somewhere I can take acting lessons?

Yes! If I were looking for acting classes in Cincinnati, I would DEFINITELY take advantage of the award-winning theater right in your backyard--the Playhouse in the Park. They offer all sorts of drama classes, both for kids and adults, as well as acting for television classes (I took this class once and it was great!). Here's their website--I'm sure you can find something that interests you: http://www.cincyplay.com/Default.aspx.
