Building Belonging Through Bold Theatre
Founded in 1997, the Know Theatre is Cincinnati’s only Black Box Theatre: an intimate, 90-seat performance space where there’s never a bad seat in the house. With a four-show MainStage Season, Cabaret performances in our Underground Bar & Lobby, and the annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival, the Know Theatre is a place where audiences can access provocative, live performances from living playwrights and local artists.

Our audience lights up their nights in Over-The-Rhine, often shopping local and spending before and after our mainstage performances. They make a night of it, and that night could start with your business!
We welcome you to invite our audience into your space: You could include an incentivizing coupon or share an engaging event. The sky is the limit!

Upcoming Education
Puppetry & Performance
August 22 – November 7 || Saturdays: 9 AM – Noon
An educational experience focused on combining dramatic and technical skills allowing for self-exploration through the world of puppetry, taught by Zoë Peterson. Skills taught in this course include collaboration, ensemble building, playwriting, design, and acting through voice and movement.
Together students will create puppets out of found materials and bring them to life through crafting and characterization! We’ll be building these puppets using upcycled materials – think cardboard, scrap fabric, etc., while experimenting with different styles from shadow puppets to more traditional, hand puppetry. As students craft their puppets, they’ll also find their voices: creating scenes that focus on the combination of puppetry and performance.
