Know Theatre's wildly successful new Serials! program continues Monday, July 7, at 8:00 PM.

Know Theatre begins a brand-new idea in Cincinnati theatre on Monday night in The Underground-an ongoing series of six short plays by local writers, but with a twist: each story will develop over the course of the whole summer in 15-minute episodes at each Serials! event.

Coming in July, Know Theatre of Cincinnati will stir the cauldron of classic theatre with a modern take on Shakespeare's Macbeth. Toil and Trouble by Lauren Gunderson will open July 26, 2013 and run through August 24, 2013. This regional premiere is the second production following the play's world premiere at Impact Theatre in Berkeley, California. The cast is comprised of Breona Conrad, Joshua Murphy, and Chris Wesselman and is directed by Know Theatre's Producing Artistic Director Eric Vosmeier with lighting and scenic design by Andrew Hungerford, sound Design by Doug Borntrager, and costume design by Noelle Wedig.

The world is coming to an end. The sky will catch fire, the rivers will rise, and the ground will shake! Where will you be when it all comes crashing down? Instead of roaming the streets creating havoc, eating all of your Twinkies, running for the hills, crying with your cat, or cowering in your basements, why not spend your last forsaken moment with your friends at Know Theatre? No one is really sure the exact moment, method, or duration of our path to judgment day, but one thing is for sure, Know Theatre will tell you what to expect when you are expecting…the end of the world.
