Described by Philadelphia-based playwright James Ijames as "an expressionistic buzzsaw through the contemporary myth that 'all lives matter,'" Kill Move Paradise takes an unflinching look at the collateral damage of our biases and our assumptions about young black men.
Know Theatre of Cincinnati is known for its edgy and off-the-wall productions. It announces its 20th season with regional and world premieres.
For 20 years, Know Theatre has been creating a theatrical playground in Cincinnati, uniting audiences and artists in a love of theatre, art, and and community.
Go back in time to see a Greek version of the minotaur in the labryinth joined by Icacurus and a chorus of fates in the play Heavier Than ... by Stephen Yockey at the Know Theatre.
This darkly comic mash-up of Greek myth unfolds in the heart of a labyrinth where Aster the Minotaur contemplates turning 30 in a world that sees him as nothing more than a murderous oddity. Aster has to navigate the impending arrival of warriors out to kill him, a deceptively enticing chorus of Fates, a plotting sister, and Icarus, a sexually obsessed boy with wings, all while pining to see his estranged Mother.
Know Theatre's 19th Season continues with a strange account of the minotaur in the Labyrinth:
The One-Minute Play Festival (1MPF) (Dominic D'Andrea, Producing Artistic Director & Caitlin Wees, Associate Producer) and Know Theatre (Andrew Hungerford, Producing Artistic Direct & Tamara Winters, Associate Artistic Director) continue their dynamic partnership for The 2nd Annual Cincinnati One-minute Play Festival with part of the proceeds to benefit artist residency and educational programming at Know Theatre!
Due to the sudden illness of featured actor Piper Davis, currently playing the role of 'Harry' in Harry & The Thief, opening tonight at 8:00 PM, Know Theatre staff members were left searching last weekend for a talented local actor who could fill Piper's role for the Opening Weekend of performances while Piper recovers.
Due to the sudden illness of featured actor Piper Davis, currently playing the role of "Harry" in Harry & The Thief, opening Friday at 8:00 PM, Know Theatre staff members were left searching last weekend for a talented local actor who could fill Piper's role for the Opening Weekend of performances while Piper recovers.
Harry & the Thief is an epic summer blockbuster; a socially conscious riot of a play that mashes up Civil-War-era melodrama with an over-the-top action movie to tell a story full of adventure, social relevance, and answering the call of destiny. It runs August 8-30 on Know Theatre's MainStage.
