James Creque – A fixture on the Know MainStage since 2014, James is a multihyphenate talent whose wit and antics Know fans have enjoyed in 2015’s ALL CHILDISH THINGS, 2015’s HUNDRED DAYS (of which he also performed in the national tour), 2106’s THE FISHERMAN’S WIFE, 2017’s SUPERTRUE, 2019’s MERCURY, 2021’s ALL’S FAIRE, and 2022’s THE TWUNNY FO’.

Lindsey Augusta Mercer – An interdisciplinary artist passionate about queer and reimagined work that is fueled by curiosity, warmth, and driven by music. You’ve seen Lindsey onstage in 2015’s Hundred Days (including in the national tour!) and 2016’s Darkest Night at the Gnarly Stump, plus you’ve loved her directing skills in Girlfriend (2016) and Lizard Boy, a new musical (2022)

Hannah Gregory – Know MainStage fans recognize Hannah from a starmaking turn in 2021’s GLASSHEART by Reina Hardy, and Cincy Fringe fans know Hannah from a series of haunting and magical musical theatre entries since 2019, including DESCENT: A MURDER BALLAD, BELLE & BOONE HELM, and 2022’s WUTHERING. Hannah’s voice is powerful and nuanced, and her love of her Appalachian Kentucky roots is steeped in every note of her original songwriting.

Ryan-Chavez Richmond – Ryan-Chavez made his Know debut on the Second Stage in a breakout role in SERIALS! a few years back, and since then, you’ve loved him in HARPER’S FERRY 2019 and SUNRISE COVEN on the MainStage, as well as the showstopping WUTHERING at Cincy Fringe 2022.

Katie Hartman – The current Producer of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, actor/musician/clown/comedian/performer extroardinaire Katie Hartman is one half of the dyanamic Fringe Festival artist duo of The Coldharts, responsible for some of the best-selling and most beloved CIncy Fringe performances of the last 10 years (THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK, EDGAR ALLEN, THE UNREPENTANT NECROPHILE, EDDIE POE, and more). Her voice brings the house down every time.

Paul Strickland – A veteran Cincy Fringe performer who has also made memorable turns on the Know Second Stage and MainStage, Paul is an internationally renowned musician and storyteller (and founder of the Cincinnati Storytelling Festival!)
