The Bengsons' HUNDRED DAYS to Open This Friday at Know Theatre

By:

Know Theatre is ready to rock Cincinnati with this fierce, triumphant alt folk opera that tells the story of a young couple who fall in love, only to have their time together cut short by a fatal illness. With the brash intensity of youth, they decide to try and live the 100 days they have left together as though it were the 60 years they had imagined they would have.

Hundred Days is directed by two-time Obie Award Winner Anne Kauffman and features local dancers from Exhale Dance Tribe choreographed by Emmy nominated Sonya Tayeh (So You Think You Can Dance), alongside a cast of rockstar performers led by show creators, Shaun and Abigail Bengson.

Hundred Days runs July 24th - August 22nd, 2015 at Know Theatre of Cincinnati (1120 Jackson Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202). For tickets and more information, visit www.knowtheatre.com.

Z Space is a hub for artists and audiences to revel in the creation, development, and production of outstanding new work. We commission, develop, present and produce a full season of new works from a variety of disciplines including theater, dance, music, performance art, and new media. We foster opportunities around the nation for these works and we engage diverse audiences through direct interactions with the process, the projects, and the artists.

Exhale Dance Tribe is Cincinnati's first Contemporary Jazz Dance company, and was named one of "25 to Watch" by Dance Magazine. Exhale celebrates the full range of modern and rhythm-based dance and features diverse, versatile performers. Their programs, performances, and original choreographies speak to the region's need for expressionistic and multilingual dance rooted in rhythmic language and storytelling. Exhale Dance Tribe shares the exhilarating gift of performing live with adult and young adult professional dancers in the Cincinnati area as well as performances around the U.S. and New Zealand.

KNOW THEATRE OF CINCINNATI, now in its 18th season, is Cincinnati's Theatrical Playground. The Know showcases unexpected voices, new works, and plays that embrace the inherent theatricality of the live experience. Know Theatre seeks to be a place where artists and audiences feel welcome to take artistic risks, creating work that is cutting edge and accessible.

Know Theatre's work is made possible, in part, by the generosity of community contributions to the ArtsWave Campaign. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund Know Theatre with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence, and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. Know Theatre is also supported by The Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation, helping to change our communities for the better through collaboration and innovation, and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, which provides a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to giving.

Know Theatre is a member of Theatre Communications Group and an Associate member of the National New Play Network.
